Boulder Opera: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)

The Comical side of plotting, forgiveness, and love...

Mozart's comic opera, Le Nozze di Figaro, is a farcical jaunt through a not-so-typical day in the Almaviva household. The servant couple, Figaro and Susanna, are to be married later in the evening; while the Count (who has amorous designs on the bride) attempts to revive the droit du seigneur allowing him intimate time with Susanna on the wedding night.

Figaro and Susanna, together with the rejected Countess and the occasionally helpful, often irritating page boy, Cherubino, contrive an elaborated plot to outwit him. Much mayhem ensues, someone jumps out of a window, clothes are exchanged, a second wedding occurs, and the Count receives a lesson in fidelity he'll never forget.

With talented Stage Director Michael Travis Risner, and music Direction by Steven Aguilo- Arbues. Our local and amazing cast: Armando Contreras as the Count and Kyrie Laybourn as the Countess. Sabine Balsamo as Susanna, Zeky Nadji as Figaro, and Claire McCahan as Cherubino.
