Mozart’s comic opera of intrigue, secret lovers and clever disguises is a whirlwind of joyous music and sparkling theatrical mischief for the perfect summer treat.
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.
Bring a chair and a picnic, and prepare to be entertained and captivated.
Running time: Approx 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
Add some sparkle to your evening with a premium ticket, enjoy fizz and canapés on the West Terrace of the Elizabethan Hall before the performance then take your place in the best area on the Croquet Lawn for an unforgettable view of the show.
