Craig Irvin: Figaro

The Marriage of Figaro has been called one of the greatest operas ever written, by scholars and audiences alike. From its famous overture to the brilliant finales, it combines the elegance and wonder of Mozart’s music with a very human comedy of wit and brilliance. It’s been just three years since The Barber of Seville came to its happy end, but in the second installment of the Beaumarchais trilogy, things have changed a great deal for Count Almaviva, Figaro and Rosina, now the Countess. One of opera’s greatest masterpieces tells a riotous tale of marriage, deception and mistaken identities but ends with the triumph of virtue, love and forgiveness. Tickets & Information.
