Las Bodas de Figaro
In stock
Designed by celebrated French poster artist Michel Bouvet (b. 1955) with Francis Laharrague (b. 1964), this 1991 poster announced Mozart’s Las Bodas de FĂgaro at the Teatro SolĂs, Uruguay’s national theatre in Montevideo, during the composer’s bicentenary year. Bouvet is renowned for his opera and theatre posters, and this rare original reflects his long connection with Latin America. Colour lithograph, linen-backed.
The shaving brush stands for Figaro himself. In Beaumarchais’s plays, on which Mozart’s opera is based, Figaro is the famous barber of Seville. By the time of The Marriage of Figaro he works as valet to Count Almaviva, but the barber’s trade remains his identity.
