LE NOZZE DI FIGARO
Oct 7 @ 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM


LE NOZZE DI FIGARO:Mozart
Leinsdorf; Siepi, Peters, Amara, Borg, Miller
Original Air Date: 01/28/1961

SID.19410104
This performance was also issued in Sony’s Historical series on CD, but strikingly not in the Met Opera on Demand (MOoD) which features a performance from the season before with the same conductor, Figaro, Count, and Cherubino. Della Casa is swapped with Amara and Soderstrom (as Susanna) is swapped with Peters. Siepi is the chief attraction here. His Figaro is represented by 3 other Nozze performances, but strangely his Mephisto only has one streaming representation, but neither Bjorling (1950, 1959) nor a strong cast for his last turn at the microhones in 1969.
