Whistle Stop Opera: The Marriage of Figaro
Whistle Stop Opera: The Marriage of Figaro Tuesday 27 January 12.10pm & 3.10pm Great Hall, University of Leeds
Beat the January blues or have your first taste of opera with a 45-minute version of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro from our friends at Opera North.
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.
Free to attend, no booking required.
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
This performance is suitable for all audiences and seating is available. If you require step-free access or have other accessibility needs, please contact culturalinstitute@leeds.ac.uk.
