FigaroThe MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
By Mozart
Sung in Italian with projected English titles

Inside the palace of the Count Almaviva, two servants, Figaro and Susanna prepare to be wed. Some though have other ideas; the Count is interested in Susanna and Marcellina wants to marry Figaro.   It takes a crazy day of disguise, mistaken identity, infidelity, trickery and love to sort it all out.  The Marriage of Figaro takes a tenderhearted look at the art of love and the presumptions of class, leaving its audience spellbound and smiling.
