Experience the timeless brilliance of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. This masterful opera, set in the opulent castle of Count Almaviva, delves into the intricate dynamics of human relationships. The plot revolves around the clever servants, Figaro and Susanna, who scheme to outwit their capricious employer, with the support of the Count's long-suffering wife, the Countess. Adding to the intrigue is Cherubino, opera's most endearing pageboy. This production, directed by the renowned Barbara Gaines, promises an exhilarating experience, enhanced by the dynamic conducting of Erina Yashima in her Lyric debut. The opera, sung in Italian with projected English titles, features a stellar cast of internationally acclaimed artists, including Ying Fang as Susanna, Federica Lombardi as Countess Almaviva, and Gordon Bintner as Count Almaviva. The performance is enriched by the creative contributions of set designer Jim Noone, costume designer Susan Mickey, and lighting designer Robert Wierzel. With a running time of three hours and thirty minutes, including one intermission, this production offers a profound and engaging exploration of love, deception, and redemption, all set to Mozart's unforgettable score.
