The Marriage Of Figaro

Set in 18th century Spain, this opera pits the Count Almaviva against his barber and valet, Figaro, as they both vie for the amorous attention of the Countess's maid, Susanna. Deception and mistaken identities drive the story, as a variety of colorful characters add to the comedy. All ends well as Mozart’s timeless music, both beautiful and invigorating, will leave you humming.
