“a hugely heart-warming evening in York Opera’s best tradition”
Several years have passed since Figaro played matchmaker to his master, the Count D’Almaviva. Now growing distant from his wife, The Count has his eyes set on Susanna, Figaro’s bride-to-be, to the consternation of The Countess.
Set on the day of their wedding, The Marriage of Figaro tells the story of plots of marriage, infidelity, revenge, money, and eventual forgiveness, all taking place through the course of a single riotous day.
