A day to remember.

It’s Figaro and Susanna’s big day. Before they can tie the knot they have more than one hurdle to overcome: Count Almaviva, Figaro’s master, has designs upon Susanna; while Figaro’s failure to repay a loan requires him to marry another woman. Mistaken identities, surprise revelations and unlikely interventions mean it’s going to be a day that no one in the Count’s household will ever forget.

The Marriage of Figaro is a ravishingly beautiful opera, both deeply affecting and funny. Once you meet its characters they will be an acquaintance you will want to keep for the rest of your life. All human life is here. This stylish production sets the opera in Spain in the optimistic days of the early 1930s. David Soar and Rebecca Evans reprise their acclaimed performances and are joined by a cast including WNO favourites Elizabeth Watts, Cora Burggraaf and Dario Solari making his debut as the Count. Accept our invitation and join us for an unforgettable day in the life of a very special household.
