Disguises. Surprises. Compromises.
Be prepared to laugh out loud.
In a brilliant examination of class dynamics, power, and human folly, this opera revels in the wit and warmth of Mozart’s luminous music and underscores the strengths and vulnerabilities of each character. At its heart, the clever servant Figaro fights to marry his true love while outsmarting his amorous and scheming master, who has his own designs on Figaro’s bride-to-be, Susanna. Not only a musical masterpiece—it’s a rallying cry for love, dignity, and the pursuit of justice that called for the end of aristocratic privilege.
