Charcuterie and a show. Pizza with pizzazz.

We’ve teamed up with a few favourite local spots to bring you a top-notch musical performance with delicious food and drinks thrown in too. Beat the January blues or have your first taste of opera with our 45-minute version of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, coming to a bar near you.

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.

Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte | Sung English version by Jeremy Sams with spoken word by John Savournin | Performed by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited
