Theatre or opera—why choose? Figaro! invites you to rediscover the worlds of Mozart and Beaumarchais through a bold adaptation combining Mozart’s opera Le nozze di Figaro and Beaumarchais’ play Le mariage de Figaro.
On stage, Beaumarchais facetiously pulls the strings of the play, whose strongest passages are acted and sung by five singers. This adaptation uses the lines from Beaumarchais’ play. The arias are sung in Italian, in keeping with Mozart’s opera, and retain all their emotion and grandeur.
Our production offers an original immersion into the worlds of Beaumarchais and Mozart, with a plot presented by an inspired Beaumarchais. The aim is to enable a wide audience, whether or not they are familiar with theatre and opera, to (re)discover these works and their impact, which is still relevant today.
