Pacific Opera Victoria presents: Marriage of Figaro
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
A riotous comedy with a revolutionary subtext, Mozart's MARRIAGE OF FIGARO follows the Almaviva household through a single tumultuous day as Count Almaviva, his wife, his valet Figaro, and his servants spin a tangled web of love affairs, plots, and counterplots.
The opera is based on the Beaumarchais play that caused an uproar in 18th century France for its subversive portrayal of uppity servants outwitting their aristocratic betters.
The opera charges along like Downton Abbey on steroids as the predatory Count tries to seduce Figaro's fianc�e Susanna on her wedding day. But even as the Count receives his comeuppance, the opera becomes a poignant study of love, jealousy, and ultimate forgiveness.
Mozart's score is an absolute masterpiece, at once sunny and sublime, unrivalled for beauty, grace, and theatrical truth.
MARRIAGE OF FIGARO features Justin Welsh in the title role, with Phillip Addis and Leslie Ann Bradley as the Count and Countess Almaviva. The production is directed by Brent Krysa with conductor Timothy Vernon and the Victoria Symphony
