The Marriage of Figaro

An energetic, period costume production (faithful to the original!) of one of the world’s most popular operas.

Based on Beaumarchais’ controversial play, Mozart’s opera (sung in English) traces the intrigues of one day at the house of Count Almaviva. Figaro (Robert Davies) is to marry Susanna (here played by Eliana Praetorian), but he must overcome every obstacle put in his way by the Count and his cronies before he can be united finally with his bride. James Conway’s production, set in steamy Seville, showcases exciting young singers, including Laura Mitchell and Nicholas Lester as Count and Countess.
