Widely considered one of the greatest operas ever written, The Marriage of Figaro is a fast-paced comedy that recounts a single day of scheming in pursuit of love—and lust—in the palace of Count Almaviva. Figaro pursues marriage to his beloved Susanna while the Count has designs on her as well. Full of witty manipulations and resonant melodies, this artistic masterpiece makes us laugh, but also reveals the depths of human tenderness.
