The Marriage of Figaro
Author(s):
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte

English National Opera
Joe Hill-Gibbins’s production of The Marriage of Figaro puts the magnifying glass over Mozart’s characters, sharing their thoughts, emotional journey and flaws with the audience.
The Marriage of Figaro is a comedic story set in a single crazy day: the wedding day of Figaro and Susanna.
In a whirlwind of mistaken identities, deception and general mayhem, the couple try to elude their employer—a philandering and promiscuous Count—teaching him a lesson in fidelity he’ll never forget.
