 Synopsis
Act I
In anticipation of his pending marriage, Figaro is measuring his room, which the
Count has provided, for a bed. Susanna hints to Figaro that the Count expects the jus
primae noctis (a nobleman’s privilege to spend the wedding night with the bride of any
of his servants) that he had only recently abolished. The two determine to prevent it.
Marcellina enters, claiming that Figaro must repay an old debt or marry her as he had
promised. Cherubino confides his love for the Countess to Susanna, but must hide when
the Count arrives to press his affections on Susanna. They, in turn, are nearly discovered
by Basilio. The Count angrily emerges from his hiding place when he overhears Basilio
speaking of Cherubino’s interest in the Countess. And after Cherubino himself is
discovered, he gets an unwelcome commission in the Count’s regiment.

Intermission
Act II
The Countess regrets her husband’s wandering affections. Susanna and Figaro
plot with her to rouse the Count’s jealousy. He is to learn about a rendezvous between
his wife and another man. And Cherubino, disguised as Susanna, will accept the
Count’s own advances.
While Susanna and the Countess discuss how best to disguise Cherubino, the
Count arrives. So, Susanna and Cherubino must hide: she behind some furniture,
and he in the closet. The Count is very suspicious and when the Countess refuses to
let him in the closet, he leaves to find means to break in. This allows Cherubino to
escape by jumping out the window, and Susanna is left in the closet to be discovered
by the Count. The situation is again complicated when Antonio enters to report that
a man just jumped out of the window into the garden. Figaro claims responsibility,
but Antonio’s discovery of Cherubinos’ commission papers needs explanation. The
Count becomes satisfied that Figaro brought them to obtain the proper seals. At this
point Marcellina enters to demand her due from Figaro.

Intermission
Act III
The Count and Susanna meet. He becomes sure of her compliance with his
desires and she of Figaro’s success in the trial. But, overhearing Susanna’s confidence,
the Count decides in Marcellina’s favor. However, it is immediately revealed that
Marcellina is, in fact, Figaro’s mother, and Bartolo is his father. Figaro and Susanna
can be married at long last.
The Countess has Susanna write a note to the Count and decides to disguise
herself for the evening’s encounter. Cherubino turns up again in the crowd of peasant
girls paying their respects to the Countess prior to the wedding. During the festivities,
Susanna delivers the note to the Count.
 Pause
Act IV
Barbarina has lost the pin she is to return to Susanna, a confirmation from the
Count of the evening’s meeting. Figaro hears her, believes the tryst to be in earnest,
and determines to trap his new wife. Everyone arrives in the garden for the intended
tryst. In the confusion of deceits and recognitions, the Count begins trifling with
Susanna (the Countess) and Figaro with the Countess (Susanna-a ruse he is aware
of ). Observing this last, the Count calls out to expose his wife’s faithlessness, but the
trick is on him. The Countess forgives him, and the whole company rejoices.

About Le nozze di Figaro

by Nik Taylor

Le nozze di Figaro was the first of Mozart’s three collaborations with the Italian
librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. When they first met in 1783, Mozart was eager to
compose an opera buffa, or comic opera, and had been searching for an appropriate
libretto. According to Da Ponte’s memoirs, the selection of Beaumarchais’ French
play Le mariage de Figaro was Mozart’s idea—an interesting choice given the political
controversy surrounding the work’s plot. The play had likely been completed by
1778. But when it was accepted for performance by the Comédie-Français in 1781,
Louis XVI banned the piece amid rumors of its highly charged political content. The
play finally reached the public stage on April 27, 1784, and according to all accounts,
it was an enormous success.
Beaumarchais’s play was also met with much hesitancy in Vienna. Emperor
Joseph II banned the performance of the work in January 1785, but he permitted
the publication of an unabridged German translation later that year. When Da Ponte
approached Joseph II about turning the play into an opera, he assured the Emperor
that he would omit or shorten “anything that could offend the sensibility and decency
of a spectacle at which His Sovereign Majesty presides.” The libretto does some of
this, but it also leaves behind the trace of some sensitive political and social issues.
The biggest concern for the play’s opponents was Figaro’s bold political speech
in the last act where he denounces the scheming ways of women and attacks the
establishment of rulers, magistrates, and censors. Da Ponte did cut this political
rant, leaving Figaro’s reproach of womanly deceit, his Act IV aria “Aprite un po’
quegli occhi / uomini incauti e sciocchi” (Open your eyes, you rash and foolish
men). Another issue that raised caution was the Count’s “droit de seigneur,” or his
right to deflower any woman in his domain. (In fact, this right was the product of
Beaumarchais’ imagination.) The combination of these issues—Figaro’s speech and
the Count’s corrupted pursuits—formed an unmistakable allegory of the tyranny
and egotistical cruelty of many political authorities. Yet, with the omission of Figaro’s
verbal attacks, Joseph II granted the production of Mozart and Da Ponte’s opera,
which premiered on May 1, 1786.
But even without Figaro’s speech, Le nozze di Figaro still carried enormous
political and social weight. This is encountered in two ways: the nobilities’ attitudes
toward those of a lower social rank and the potential danger of servants who outwit
their masters. The latter is especially evident in Figaro’s Act I aria “Se vuol ballare,”
which is set as a stately minuet and declares Figaro’s intention to overthrow the
Count’s plan. The choice of a minuet here is an ironic one: it explicitly mocks the
courtly dance ritual and features a text that teases his master’s tyranny in saying “Dear
Count, if you feel like dancing, I shall call the tune.”
What follows are a number of comic episodes, many of which intended to
trick the Count. Susanna and Figaro must fool the Count to have their wedding;
Susanna and the Countess must scheme to keep Cherubino hidden from the Count.
They must also trick the Count into thinking he’s with Susanna in the garden when,
in fact, he is with the Countess. This notion of servants fooling their master must
have been troublesome for many political officials in the eighteenth century, but,
nevertheless, it certainly provides the fundamental comic element of the work.
Another way Mozart and Da Ponte realize political issues in the opera is through
the variety of aria styles sung by each of the main characters. In the beginning of the
opera, the separation of class rank between the servants (Figaro and Susanna) and
the masters (the Count and Countess) is distinctive. Figaro’s “Se vuol ballare,” for
example, fits within the rhythmic confines of the minuet, which does not allow much
emotional (or melodic) freedom. The same is true for his aria “Non piu andrai” heard
at the end of Act I, which is in another dance style: the march. Not only is Figaro
restricted by the set rhythm, but the violins of the orchestra play his melody along
with him. These constrained limitations of Figaro’s arias form an interesting parallel
to his social status of a servant.
Figaro’s “Non piu andrai,” and the beginning of Act II, the Countess’s “Porgi,
amor,” form a juxtaposition that clearly separates the high and low social classes.
The latter aria employs particularly rich textures and a poignant lyricism from
the orchestra, and with the Countess’s melody featuring the elegance and refined
dignity of her class. Following her aria, Susanna enters, and we witness an unusual,
quite friendly relationship between a master and servant. Indeed, throughout the
opera, there is nothing to demonstrate the class separation between them. Susanna
frequently sings higher than the Countess, and in their Act III duet “Sull’ aria,” they
both sing equal amounts of music. This equality of musical material means more
than just the number of notes, it demonstrates that the characters—regardless of their
class—experience the same degrees of emotion and can express them equally.
The arias in Act IV further demonstrate that the separations of class have
dissolved. This is especially evident in Susanna’s aria “Deh vieni, non tardar,” which,
like the Countess’s “Porgi amor,” allows the singer the utmost emotional freedom with
expressive vocal leaps and dramatic pauses. Also, both arias feature the woodwind
instruments, whose lyrical melodies gracefully accompany their voices.
The opera’s gradual elevation of Susanna’s and Figaro’s aria styles highlight a
message of social equality that was not possible with the story’s original theatrical
form. There is no doubt that these musical settings both diminish the highly held
prominence of political authorities and raise the perceived emotional capacities of
the lower classes. Certainly, the opera continues to hold relevance to today’s society,
where one is frequently reminded of cultural inequalities and difference. But, as the
opera shows us, these divisions can be broken and—according to the final chorus—
can only end in contentment and joy.

Artistic Staff Biographies

Conductor Will Crutchfield spent his teens as a vocal coach and
rehearsal pianist, made his name as a writer and musicologist in
the mid-1980s (becoming the youngest music critic in the history
of The New York Times), and returned to his theater roots in the
mid-1990s to conduct opera. After initial productions with small
companies and conservatories, Crutchfield was named to two
Photo by Michael Cooper.
long-term positions: director of opera for the Caramoor
International Music Festival (1997-present) and music director
of the Opera de Colombia in Bogota (1999-2005). In 2006, he began a long-term
relationship with the Polish National Opera in Warsaw, beginning with productions
of Tancredi, Il barbiere di Siviglia, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Guillaume Tell.
Crutchfield has accepted guest engagements in several theaters at home and
abroad, including The Canadian Opera Company (Tancredi with Ewa Podles), The
Washington Opera (Giulio Cesare with Hei-Kyung Hong), The Minnesota Opera
(I Capuleti e i Montecchi with Sumi Jo and Vivica Genaux; La traviata with Judith
Howarth), the Baltimore Opera (La Cenerentola and Werner Herzog’s production
of Die Zauberflöte), Florida Grand Opera (Don Pasquale), L’Opéra Français de New
York (Gluck’s Pélérins de la Mècque), the Mark Morris Dance Group (Dido and
Aeneas), Wolf Trap Opera (La finta giardiniera), the State Theatre Pretoria (Il barbiere
di Siviglia), and the Orquesta Filarmonica de la Gran Canaria (Norma).
Crutchfield has also been closely involved in training the next generation of
singers. He prefers to work repeatedly with young artists he believes in so that the
process can develop from production to production. He served on the faculties of all
three New York conservatories (Juilliard, Manhattan, and Mannes) before devoting
himself to conducting full-time, and he continues to spend the summer months
with the training program at Caramoor. An often-noted component of Crutchfield’s
research, as of his practical work with singers, has been the recovery and development
of the art of ornamental improvisation.
Crutchfield has also led symphonic repertory, including works of Mahler,
Strauss, Bartók, Beethoven, Britten, Schubert, and Mendelssohn with various
orchestras in the U.S. and Latin America. He has also remained active as a pianist
and is familiar to audiences who have heard his frequent intermission broadcasts
from the Metropolitan Opera.
Crutchfield is currently completing a book on performance practice in Italian opera.
 Michael Ehrman has won acclaim for his productions at such
companies as Houston Grand Opera, Greater Miami Opera,
Minnesota Opera, Wolf Trap Opera, Chautauqua Opera,
Atlanta Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, and Chicago Opera Theater.
In 2006, he staged the 50th Anniversary The Ballad of Baby Doe
at Central City Opera, a company where he has directed 18
productions, including a new Vanessa in 2005 and the world
première of Henry Mollicone’s Gabriel’s Daughter in 2003. Other recent works
include Falstaff for Indianapolis Opera, Otello for DuPage Opera, Street Scene for the
Minnesota Opera, Noye’s Fludde for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Die Zauberflöte
and The Mikado for the Colorado Symphony, and The Barber of Seville and The Sound
of Music for Tulsa Opera. Ehrman’s staging of the musical Carnival was named on
several of Chicago‘s “Ten Best” lists for 2005.
Ehrman has extensive experience as a teacher and author/director of many
educational opera programs. He was director of opera at Northwestern University,
the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and at Roosevelt University/Chicago College
of Performing Arts. He has also directed at Yale University, University of Kentucky,
Hartt School of Music, and Shenandoah University. He served on the artistic staffs
and was stage director/acting coach for the Young Artist programs at Central City
Opera, Chautauqua Opera, Wolf Trap, Greater Miami Opera, Virginia Opera, Lake
George Opera, Utah Opera, The Israeli Vocal Arts Institute, Intermezzo Young Artist
Program, the Brevard Music Center, and the New National Theater, Tokyo
Ehrman’s recent projects included the Chicago première of Ronald Perera’s
The Yellow Wallpaper, Le nozze di Figaro at the Hartt School, and The Sound of Music,
Carmen, La bohème, and Camelot at the Brevard Music Center. Future engagements
include La bohème for Mercury Opera, and Susannah at Central City Opera and
Mobile Opera. He has been a frequent guest director at Indiana University, where he
has staged Faust, The Ballad of Baby Doe, Roméo et Juliette, Manon, and Susannah.

 There is no American theatrical designer more closely associated
with the world of opera than Robert O’Hearn. Several of the
most important productions in the Metropolitan Opera
repertoire since the opening of Lincoln Center in 1966 have
been Robert O’Hearn productions. Highlights of his long list of
Met credits start in 1960 (at the old Met) with L’elisir d’amore
and include Die Frau Ohne Shatten (1966), Hansel und Gretel
(1967), Der Rosenkavelier (1969), and Porgy and Bess (1985). His productions have
been the benchmark of excellence both here and abroad. His international career
spans 60 years, from his first professional stage production in 1948 in Cambridge,
MA, until the recent IU Opera Theater production of A Wedding, his final design
before retirement this spring.
O’Hearn is a native Hoosier, born in Elkhart, IN, on July 19, 1921. He is also
a graduate of Indiana University, receiving his B.A. in 1943. In 1948, he became a
fixture at the Harvard University Brattle Theater, designing numerous productions
over the next few years. The artwork of those productions is now part of the Harvard
University Theater Collection. O’Hearn remained associated with the Brattle until
1952, when he turned his attention to New York and Broadway. Starting in 1953, he
served as assistant designer on such legendary productions as Kismet (1953), Pajama
Game (1955), My Fair Lady (1956), and West Side Story (1958).
By 1960, he was designing in his own right at the Metropolitan Opera, where
he became a regular for the next 25 years. His other U.S. credits are quite extensive,

In 1965, he designed Porgy and Bess for the Vienna Volksoper. This began
a long association with European opera houses that includes Bregenzer Festspiele
(Porgy and Bess), Hamburg Statsoper (Otello), Strasbourg (Swan Lake), Karlsruhe
(Die Meistersinger), and the Canadian Opera Company (Der Rosenkavelier).
Before joining the Jacobs School of Music Opera Studies faculty in 1988, he
served as a professor at the Studio and Forum of Stage Design in New York City
(1968–88). He has also given guest lectures and classes at Carnegie Mellon University,
Brandeis University, and Penn State University.
O’Hearn’s elegant and theatrically sensitive designs form the mainstay of the
IU Opera Theater repertoire—Peter Grimes, Eugene Onegin, Wozzek, Falstaff, Carmen,
Ariadne-auf-Naxos, Arabella, Manon, and Le nozze di Figaro, to name a few.
As a teacher, O’Hearn has been a wonderful first-hand resource for the
development of opera and theatrical design during the second half of the twentieth
century and is much admired by both students and fellow faculty. His 20-year tenure
with Jacobs has been a significant part of the 60-year history of IU Opera Theater,
and it is important to make note that he has been the first American-born principal
designer to serve in that post.
