Mozart’s playful opera… in 45 minutes!

Figaro and Susanna are getting married, but trouble is on the horizon… their boss Count Almaviva is out to bed the bride, the lovesick pageboy Cherubino keeps landing himself in hot-water and, to top it all off, if Figaro cannot repay his debt to Marcellina, he’ll have to marry her instead.

With four professional opera singers and an accordionist as your guide, take a whistle stop tour through the comic twists and glorious music of one of the world’s most popular operas.
