The Marriage of Figaro
It’s your world, but I make my way in it.
Regarded as one of the greatest operas ever written, The Marriage of Figaro is a screwball comedy complete with disguises, surprises, and compromises, and comes to life with an impressive cast of singers.
The barber of Seville is getting hitched today! The passions and perils of love and marriage collide in one uproarious day as Figaro struggles to get his bride, Susanna, to the altar unscathed. Identities are concealed, manners upended, plots foiled … Soon, everyone’s involved in the farcical antics, from a vengeful doctor and his matronly housekeeper to a bumbling teenage page!
Mozart’s breathlessly paced comic masterpiece–one of the world’s all-time favorites based on French playwright Beaumarchais’s “sequel” to The Barber of Seville–comes to vibrant life through enchanting music marked by glorious arias, tender duets, and of course the celebrated effervescent overture. Clever disguises and absurd mix-ups keep the laughs and surprises coming in this charming exploration of the perils of temptation, the grace of forgiveness, and the triumph of love.
