Mozart’s incredible ‘Marriage of Figaro’ encompasses so much more than the usual comedy, passion, lust and class war! It is rife with the what could be considered modern-day  themes like sexism, ‘me too’, predatory employers, a ‘Lolita’ scenario, Twitter-esque information exchanges and so much more. Yet all of these dark themes are elegantly and deftly encompassed in Mozart’s delightful, timeless music and Beaumarchais’ deep, witty text! Feminine wiles will thwart the attempted male domination – a philandering nobleman, an over-sexed teenager, an intrigue-spreading gossip are all countered by super intelligent women and the quick-thinking Figaro! You will laugh, you will cry, you will be outraged and you will ultimately be thrilled – and even with the difficult themes it is an opera for all ages because of the subtleties of the text and the glorious, ‘velvet glove’ of Mozart’s music! Our stellar cast, led by Maestro Jorge Parodi and directed by our own Maria Todaro, will make this opera come to life and create a life-changing experience!
