Full production with orchestra

The popular and greatly-loved opera by Mozart, Le Nozze di Figaro, has maintained its high position among the world’s most often-performed operas. The intricate text by Beaumarchais retains a theme still understandable in our world today. It is the familiar story of infidelity, neglected wife, pursued servant, and angry lover. It tells of young adolescent sexual exploits, in the beloved characters of Cherubino and Barbarina. It reveals the revels of the upper class, using pretty faces to enflame burned-out passion. It is a political statement of the unjust laws against those who serve the rich, and how strong convictions can influence the higher-ups after all, as seen when Figaro together with the Countess deceive the Count and wins back his Susanna. Mozart keeps all melancholy from creeping into this frolicking, humorous and poignant score from which almost everyone nowadays recognizes a tune.
