The Marriage of Figaro (sung by Buffalo Opera Unlimited in Italian with English translations projected above the stage) recounts a single day of madness – Figaro’s wedding day. The curtain rises on Figaro and bride-to-be Susanna, preparing the new room that their master the Count has given them. Susanna reveals that the only reason for the Count’s generous gift is to keep her nearby, since he plans to cause last-minute mischief on her wedding day.
Figaro is furious, vowing to outsmart the Count. Together with Susanna, the abandoned Countess, and the page boy Cherubino (who adores all women, especially the Countess), they devise an ingenious plan to trap him. Expect disguises, mistaken identities, and a lot of hiding in and under things.
