Le nozze di Figaro (‘The Marriage of Figaro’)

From its riveting overture to its magnificent arias, Le nozze di Figaro is the pinnacle of Mozart’s musical genius and flair for dramatically capturing the most human of desires.

Set during a single day in Seville, Figaro and his bride to be Susanna are determined to foil Count Almaviva’s desire to exercise his droit du seigneur – his right to bed a servant girl on her wedding night. Meanwhile, the Countess, heartbroken by her husband’s infidelity, finds herself embroiled in the adolescent affections of a page boy, Cherubino. To top it all off, Figaro is significantly indebted and will be forced to marry the housekeeper Marcellina if he cannot pay his dues.

Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro is theatrical comedy at its best with lust, love, and deception at the core of every twist and turn.
