Le nozze di Figaro

Get ready for a day full of laughter, surprises, and clever tricks in Mozart’s sparkling and delightful Le nozze di Figaro. Figaro and Susanna, servants in the household of Count Almaviva, are excited to be married—but their plans are threatened when the Count, bored with his own marriage, sets his sights on Susanna. With the help of some smart friends (and a few disguises), Figaro and Susanna set out to outwit the Count and prove that love, loyalty, and honesty can win the day.

Composed in 1786 with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, Le nozze di Figaro is one of the greatest operas ever written—an inspired blend of comedy, romance, and social commentary. Adapted from a play by Pierre Beaumarchais that was banned in many places for its bold critique of the nobility, the opera unfolds over a single, chaotic day filled with romantic entanglements, mistaken identities, and unexpected revelations.

At its core, the opera is a story of clever servants outsmarting their aristocratic masters. With its rich ensemble writing, memorable characters, and a score full of emotional nuance and comedic brilliance, Le nozze di Figaro continues to captivate audiences. Its themes of love, justice, and the fight for dignity remain as fresh and relevant today as they were at its revolutionary premiere.
