Performances of Mozart's comic opera Le nozze di Figaro at The Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen have received high praise from critics. The production, which ran from 6th October and will end on 17th November, receives a new, classical staging with a twist by Anne Barslev.
Under the baton of conductor Nicholas McGegan, the musicianship displayed in these performances has been highly commended several times over.
Selected reviews:
Conductor Nicholas McGegan brings it all together like a true master through his well-considered choice of tempi, whereby the Mozartian sound unfolds in the orchestra and the acoustics of the entire room. McGegan's handling of the score resulted in more than great interaction for all actors, which the Opera here at home can really be proud of. May he return as soon as possible.

Nicholas McGegan takes credit for his musical direction, and both choir and orchestra contribute to making this afternoon at the Opera a complete pleasure.
- Michael Søby, CPH Culture
Conductor Nicholas McGegan lures high musical quality out of Det Kgl. Kapel, which is a delight all the way through Anne Barslev's new staging of Mozart's 1786 classic, which is still one of the opera repertoire's most beloved comedies.
