The marriage of Figaro

Description

A fast-paced farce filled with glorious music, The Marriage of Figaro (in Italian Le Nozze di Figaro) is widely considered to be the greatest comic opera ever written. As the day of Figaro and Susanna’s wedding arrives, it becomes clear that their master, Count Almaviva, is hell-bent on seducing Susanna before the ceremony can take place. Susanna and Figaro conspire with the forsaken Countess to outwit her husband and teach him a lesson in fidelity. But when the teenage Cherubino involves himself in their plans, relationships become severely strained through a series of ever-more confusing twists and turns.
