LOCATION:Royal Theatre :: 805 Broughton St. Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: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. =0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
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. =0D=0A=
The opera charges along like Downton Abbey on steroids as the predatory Count tries to seduce Figaro's fiancée 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.=0D=0A=

Mozart's score is an absolute masterpiece, at once sunny and sublime, unrivalled for beauty, grace, and theatrical truth.=0D=0A=
