Opera Santa Barbara Presents....3/23 and 3/25

The Marriage of Figaro
by Mozart

Friday March 23 at 7:30 pm
Sunday 3/25 at 2:30 pm


Here come the Count and Countess Almaviva, Figaro and Susanna.
Toss in an amorous teenager, a scheming old maid, a tipsy gardener and a silly young girl,
and you have Mozart’s madcap Marriage of Figaro.
Filled with mistaken identities and plot twists, Mozart deftly maintains a balance
between drama and comedy as the wily Figaro outwits his lecherous
master in one “folle journée” – one crazy day!
With its brilliant, shimmering score and one breathtaking aria after another,
The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at the height of his genius.

~Sung in Italian with English Supertitles
