Mozart's Madcap Opera

Figaro is finally tying the knot in this feverishly fun follow-up to The Barber of Seville, spilling its madcap mischief courtesy of the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera! Directed by Michael Hidetoshi Mori and conducted by Emily Senturia, the work features some of opera's most famous arias and an unbeatable story. Discover why The Marriage of Figaro is considered the world's most beloved opera!

The Marriage of Figaro explores the contentious relationship between the lower and ruling classes; territory that would have surely raised a few eyebrows in its day. Set in Spain, serial love rat Count Almaviva has set his sights on his Countess' maid Susanna, much to the chagrin of his valet Figaro, who is Susanna's betrothed. The Countess, Susanna, Figaro, and their fellow servants conspire to punish the rapscallion Count with hysterical results.
