Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro

Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro

"It’s your world, but I make my way in it..." (Beaumarchais)

In a grand house not too far away, the high melodrama and petty squabbles of its residents are played out in glorious technicolour. Love, jealousy, class struggle, and families lost and found are staged on a household scale. At the centre of it all, an artful Figaro and his beloved Susanna, together with an unhappy Countess, conspire to show a philandering, arrogant Count the error of his ways. As events unfold in escalating absurdity, it will take all of Figaro's wiles to explain away squashed geraniums, boys dressed as girls, and contractual marriage obligations. Will contentment and happiness ever reign again in this household?

Award-winning opera company Opera in a Box bring you their production of Mozart’s "The Marriage of Figaro". Following their recent NODA award for ‘Innovative Production’ for their winter performances of Puccini’s "La bohème", they have brought together a cast and crew of some of the finest young talents in the south-west, both on and off stage, promising for an extremely enjoyable and entertaining show.
