MOZART’S MASTERPIECE, THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, CLOSES 2025/26 SEASON – April 18, 22, 24

Mozart’s comic masterpiece The Marriage of Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro) will close Manitoba Opera’s 2025/26 season with three performances April 18, 22, and 24 at the Centennial Concert Hall. Limited tickets remain for this iconic opera that takes place over one crazy day – the wedding day of Susanna and Figaro. For tickets, go to mbopera.ca/204-944-8824.

Mozart’s great ensemble comedy features a colourful cast of characters and a whirlwind of tricks, disguises, and mistaken identities. It is set to some of the most exquisite music ever composed. The witty and intricate plot of Mozart’s beloved opera takes place over the course of one day as Susanna and Figaro, servants to the Count and Countess Almaviva, attempt to keep their wedding day from being sidelined.

From the famous overture to the finale and the Count’s lesson in marital fidelity, this social commentary on class and love unfolds with brilliant music, memorable melodies, and heart-breaking tenderness as the characters ponder young love, lost love, and forgiveness.
