The Marriage of Figaro
Advertisement
by W. A. Mozart
libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte
presented by Wild Arts
Orlando Jopling musical director
Danielle de Niese stage director
Get ready for an evening of sparkling tunes, tangled romances and razor-sharp wit. It’s the wedding of the year but with mistaken identities, cheeky servants, and a Count with a wandering eye, the ‘happily ever after’ might take a little work!
On the morning of their wedding, Figaro and Susanna discover that their employer, the amorous Count Almaviva, has his sights set on the bride-to-be. What follows is one madcap day of disguises, misunderstandings, and ingenious plotting as servants outsmart masters and love triumphs against the odds.
Bursting with glorious melodies — from the fizzing overture to the heart-stopping beauty of ‘Dove sono’ and the jubilant finale — The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at his most brilliant. It’s an irresistible blend of comedy and chaos, set to music that’s simply impossible not to love.
Fast, funny and fabulously full of heart, this is proof that love (helped along by a touch of trickery) always wins in the end.
Following their sold out Opera Evening in 2025, Wild Arts returns to the Minack Theatre for two nights in 2026 with this full opera directed by Danielle de Niese.
Sung in English in a new translation by Danielle de Niese and Orlando Jopling.
