Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents Burnaby Lyric Opera’s Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)—a comedic opera by Mozart, sung in Italian with English surtitles—from February 22 to March 1, with showtimes at 2 pm and 7:30 pm.
Right from its opening notes, Le Nozze di Figaro is filled with lively characters who meet unexpected twists and challenges with humour, grace, and poignancy. When the lecherous Count sets his eyes on his servant Figaro’s fiancée Susanna (the Countess’s maid), Susanna and the Countess come up with a scheme to outsmart the Count and bring him to his knees.
Stage director Richard Berg and music director Richard Epp are working their magic on Le Nozze di Figaro, bringing to the stage an abundance of outrageous disguises, hiding spots, and scenarios. The production features young professional opera singers from B.C.
Tickets are available through the Shadbolt Centre.
