Victorian Opera is delighted to present its fourth Mozart opera - the ravishingly beautiful The Marriage of Figaro. This production brings to life a stylish world where social position and knowing one’s place are everything. Couched in a comic framework by Lorenzo da Ponte, the opera examines the complexities of marriage, relationships, infidelity, infatuation and lasting commitment.

The Marriage of Figaro blends breathtaking arias and ensembles with irrepressible characters and chaotic humour. Victorian Opera’s new production reunites the team who bought you The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni with Richard Gill conducting and award-winning Jean-Pierre Mignon directing an acclaimed ensemble cast.

Discover the Marriage of Figaro at the Arts Centre Melbourne, Playhouse. Monday 9 July, 6pm

“What a gift to be asked to work on sets for the sublime Figaro in the intimate environment of the Playhouse with my colleagues, Richard, Jean-Pierre, Christina and Paul - our third collaboration together on a Mozart opera, following Don G and The Flute - how could I refuse?”
