Award-winning Oxford Opera presents Mozart’s joyful masterpiece The Marriage of Figaro.

Taking place over one chaotic day, this high speed comedy of social and sexual politics is as relevant today as it was when Mozart composed it in 1786. Join the fun as the smart-witted partnership of Figaro and his love Susanna, with the help of the spurned Countess, outwit the entitled snobbery of the Count. With sub-plot upon sub-plot this is operatic comedy at its finest!

Director Katie Blackwell and conductor John Warner, the creative team behind the sold-out, critically acclaimed Tosca last year, bring their brand new, fast, funny and fresh look to one of Mozart’s all time greatest operas. Sung in English (with surtitles) in a brand new translation by George Robarts, accompanied by the Oxford Opera Orchestra.

Family Matinee
A reduced version of the opera lasting no more than 75mins, this is the perfect introduction to the joys of opera for young children and their families.

Oxford Opera is Opera For Everyone.
