The Montreal native will be performing  the role of the Count Almaviva on February 5, 8, and 11, 2020. He joins a cast that includes Anita Hartig as the Countess, Hanna-Elisabeth Müller as Susanna, Marianne Crebassa as Cherubino, Adam Plachetka as Figaro, and Maurizio Muraro as Bartolo. Cornelius Meister will conduct.

Kwiecień is still scheduled to perform the final three performances of the run on Feb. 14, 19, and 22.

The first run of “Le Nozze di Figaro” this season will open on Nov. 16 with a different cast that includes Adam Plachetka, Nadine Sierra, Luca Pisaroni, and Susanna Phillips.
