LOL. That’s what we expect you to do with Mozart’s beloved comedy The Marriage of Figaro. Full of scheming and wooing, flirting and foolishness, Figaro’s joyful and absurd twists pile the truly outrageous on top of the scandalous to provide what we all wish for – the very happiest of endings. Driven by the music of Mozart, Figaro promises a captivating grand opera performance!
Mozart’s beloved four-act comic opera, The Marriage of Figaro, is the kind of mad and frantic bedroom farce of which guilty (and not-so-guilty) pleasures are made. It is all driven by the music of Mozart at his most spirited and conceived in collaboration with his most entrusted and successful librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte. Full of scheming and wooing, flirting and folly, Figaro’s hilarious and absurd twists and turns pile the outrageous on top of the scandalous to joyful effect. This is an opera that proves that the art form itself can be counted on not only for the most awe-inspiring aspects of the human condition, but also for its abilities to provide us what we wish for—the very happiest of endings. Last performed by the Virginia Opera in 2013, this 2022 staging—conducted by Adam Turner with live music by the Richmond Symphony Orchestra—once again promises captivating performances that will leave you walking on air.

The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart, Sat 26 Mar 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Kyle Lang,, Conductor Adam Turner, Harrison Opera House, Norfolk, United States
