OH, WHAT A DAY!

It’s the eve of Figaro and Susanna’s wedding, but nothing is going right. The Count’s wandering eye has landed on the bride-to-be. Cherubino, the page, is sweet on the Countess, and Marcellina, the governess, is chasing after Figaro.

Mozart’s great ensemble comedy features a colourful cast of characters and a whirlwind of tricks, disguises, and mistaken identities. Can the servants turn the tables on the masters in order to teach the Count a lesson and save the wedding? Will love triumph?

From the famous overture to the finale, 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.

Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
