    What do you do when your married boss makes a play for your fiancée? If it's the 18th century and you're a lowly valet, you're supposed to look the other way. But if your name is Figaro and your clever fiancée, Susanna, is in league with your boss's unhappy wife, then you just might succeed in making your lecherous employer - and indeed his whole decadent social class - look pretty foolish.

    What do you do when your married boss makes a play for your fiancée? If it's the 18th century and you're a lowly valet, you're supposed to look the other way. But if your name is Figaro and your clever fiancée, Susanna, is in league with your boss's unhappy wife, then you just might succeed in making your lecherous employer - and indeed his whole decadent social class - look pretty foolish. In fact, Susanna and Figaro are so successful at flummoxing Count Almaviva and his fellow aristocrats that The Marriage of Figaro has been called the opening shot of the French Revolution. Servants one-upping their masters? Unthinkable, yet so very, very satisfying.

    At once humorous and touching, this madcap masterpiece represents the crowning glory of Mozart's unparalled brilliance. Lust collides with love through a series of hilarious deceptions, famous melodies, and a richly varied and beautiful score. The Marriage of Figaro, for very good reason, is often described as the most perfect comic opera ever written.

      Although it's long (3 hours including two intermissions)there is a lot of fun, chemistry, flirting, humor, and very enjoyable emotion throughout this opera. I'm no opera buff by any means, but of the... Expand
