“Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!”
Everyone’s favorite barber has a new assignment: to ensure happily-ever-after for a nobleman and a young woman trying to outwit her guardian. Featuring multiple disguises, secret missives and a bit of ingenuity, Rossini’s sparkling comedy is one of the best-loved works in opera.
Take your seat in the theater this fall and let Figaro and company make you smile.
