Description
Opera poster for Le nozze di Figaro (The marriage of Figaro) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - from the minimalist opera poster series by illustrator and writer Moira Risen - a perfect gift for opera fans.
'My personal favorit of all Mozart operas - a real 'opera buffa' with exquisite music, very entertaining characters and a seemingly lighthearted story about the wedding day of the same Figaro who appears in Rossini's Barber of Seville. With lots of funny and unlikely twists, Count Almaviva is basically trolled throughout the whole opera by her wife Rosina, Figaro and his bride Suzanna, and all other participants from the gardener to the count's page Cherubino in order to get the marriage done and prevent the count from exercising the jus primae noctis.
The sheet music on the bottom of the poster is from 'Sull'aria'. This beautiful soprano duet is the one that Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) played for the prisoners in the movie The Shawshank Redemption.
This poster is part of my continuously augmented opera-themed poster collection featuring the works of Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, Rossini and other great composers. '
All pieces are available as high quality framed, acrylic, metal or canvas print in different sizes.
