Figaro and Susanna simply want to get married, but this proves more complicated than expected. On their way to wedlock, they must fend off intrigues and suitors, as well as face tests of loyalty and jealousy: Figaro's boss, Count Almaviva, is also courting Susanna, who allies herself with his wife, the Countess; Figaro, meanwhile, believes he has been betrayed – and then there's the lovelorn young Cherubino flitting about. A farcical comedy of disguises and mistaken identities ensues!

The Marriage of Figaro

City Theatre, Bern

Two love triangles, multiple murders, and boiling emotions. Behind it all: betrayed love, jealousy, and hatred. Pietro Mascagni's opera Cavalleria rusticana and Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci are two works now almost inextricably linked; composed in 1890 and 1892 respectively, they both evoke the sounds, scents, and atmosphere of southern Italy, but in their brutality and harshness, they also reflect the naturalistic approach of Verismo at the end of the 19th century.
