Description |
Neil Armfield and Geoffrey Rush's adaptation of Beaumarchais play.This interpretation is racy and postmodern,sly,topical and witty.The original version was banned in Vienna as being impertinent and subversive-it was felt to be an expose of the libertine excesses of a ruling aristocracy by the "serving classes".It was of course the play to which a young Mozart turned for operatic material in 1786. |
