RCM Opera: Le nozze di Figaro

17 March 2025 - 22 March 2025

Experience Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro like never before in this traditional production with a modern twist…

Set within a grand estate near Seville, titled (and entitled) aristocracy and the working classes live cheek by jowl in a self-contained world. Figaro, the quick-witted valet, and Susanna, his clever bride-to-be, find themselves navigating the tangled desires of their aristocratic master, Count Almaviva.

But in this world, the rules are crumbling. The old ways are being questioned and hierarchies are becoming blurred. Servants and masters share quarters, secrets, and even identities. In the estate’s hidden corners and enchanted woods, their paths collide, and finally, the human qualities of love and forgiveness transcend the madness.

With acclaimed director Jeremy Sams at the helm, this production offers a fresh take on Mozart’s witty and poignant score – perfect for both seasoned opera lovers and newcomers alike.

This event goes on sale on Wednesday 5 February, or Wednesday 29 January for those with Priority Booking.
