When a lusty aristocrat tries to seduce his valet’s pretty young fiancée, his servants and long-suffering wife conspire to teach him a lesson in fidelity. Three season debuts bring a fresh face to Mozart’s central quartet this season. Prize-winning Uzbekistani bass Jasurbek Khaydarov makes his UK opera and Glyndebourne debut in the title role, with John Christie Award-winner Henna Mun – ‘endearingly sweet’ in last Autumn’s _The Railway Children_ – returning to Glyndebourne as his beloved Susanna. Madeline Boreham makes her Glyndebourne debut singing the Countess, with Russian baritone Anton Beliaev – who has recently appeared at the Bregenz festival and Berlin’s Deutsche Oper – as her irascible husband, the Count. Mezzo Madeleine Shaw returns from the production’s original cast as Marcellina, joined by Henry Waddington as Bartolo, Mark Milhofer as Don Basilio and former Jerwood Artist Rachel Roper as Cherubino. _Sung in Italian with English supertitles._
