A spokesperson says---
“...Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro) unfolds over a single, eventful day in the household of Count Almaviva, on the eve of Figaro and Susanna’s wedding. As the clever servants prepare to marry, they must outwit their employer, who schemes to undermine their union while pursuing Susanna himself.
Across four fast-moving acts, disguises, overheard conversations, and ingenious reversals propel the comedy. Cherubino, the love-struck page, brings youthful chaos, while the Countess, wounded by her husband’s infidelity, emerges as the opera’s emotional heart. Confusion multiplies in bedrooms and corridors before reaching its peak in a moonlit garden, where mistaken identities unravel, the Count is exposed, and forgiveness restores order.
Premiered in 1786, The Marriage of Figaro reshaped comic opera by blending sparkling wit with deep emotional truth. Mozart’s revolutionary ensemble writing and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte’s richly human characters created a masterwork that remains one of the most cherished operas in the repertory. Sung in Italian with English supertitles..."
