Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro again at English National Opera, London

LONDON/GREAT BRITAIN: The Marriage of Figaro whisks us through the events of one crazy day as Figaro, the Count’s valet, tries to wed Susanna, the Countess’s maid, before their philandering master can bed her first.

Directed by Fiona Shaw, the opera’s plot of sexual intrigue, mistaken identities and unexpected revelations unravels with clock-like precision against some of Mozart’s most beautiful music

.

A superb cast includes David Stout and ENO Harewood Artist Mary Bevan as the wily servants Figaro and Susanna, alongside Benedict Nelson as Count Almaviva and Sarah-Jane Brandon as the wronged Countess
.

‘For sheer fun, this is the best Figaro you will ever see.’
