Marriage of Figaro

Olivier award winning OperaUpClose present a highly inventive modern English version of Mozart’s much loved opera, bursting with great tunes, laugh out loud comedy, and powerful insights into what it is to be human.

On the day they are due to be married, Susanna horrifies Figaro by revealing that the unwanted attentions of his boss - the womanising Count - are becoming increasingly insistent. Further complications are caused by highly-sexed teenager Cherubino's infatuation with the Countess, who loves her unfaithful husband but is flattered to be noticed by a much younger man. Through quick thinking and subterfuge, the servants outwit the master and the women get the better of the men in a satirical romp that is joyful and subversive in equal measure.
