Miraculous... Dynamic singing, charismatic orchestral play, and clever stage jokes wed finery with fun.
★★★★ The Guardian (full review)
Remarkable... Emotionally and dramatically full with an excellent cast and instrumental flair.

Mozart's comic opera of intrigue, secret lovers and clever disguises is a whirlwind of joyous music and sparkling theatrical mischief and the perfect summer treat.
A magical evening... Gripping and entertaining.
Planet Hugill (full review)
On the morning of their wedding, Figaro and Susanna discover that their employer, the amorous Count Almaviva, has his sights set on the bride-to-be. What follows is one madcap day of disguises, misunderstandings, and ingenious plotting as servants outsmart masters and love triumphs against the odds. Bursting with glorious melodies — from the fizzing overture to the heart-stopping beauty of ‘Dove sono’ and the jubilant finale — The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at his most brilliant. It’s an irresistible blend of comedy and chaos, set to music that’s simply impossible not to love.
Sung in English in a new translation by Danielle de Niese and Orlando Jopling.
