Royal Ballet and Opera Live: The Marriage of Figaro

Broadcasts
Tuesday 10 September 6:30 pm
It’s Figaro’s wedding, and you’re invited to join the Almaviva household for an uproarious day of revelation and scandal. Mozart’s comic opera is packed with plot twists, forbidden desires and unforgettable melodies, combining laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of breathtaking beauty.

Count Almaviva (Huw Montague Rendall) lives with his Countess (Jacquelyn Stucker) on their estate near Seville. The Count has his eye on his wife’s maid Susanna (Ying Fang), who is about to marry the Count’s servant, Figaro (Luca Micheletti). Much to Figaro’s dismay, the Count plans to seduce Susanna on the night of the wedding. Meanwhile, Cherubino (Ginger Costa-Jackson), the Count’s young page, has a crush on the Countess, but has just been dismissed after being discovered with Barbarina (Isabella Diaz), the gardener Antonio’s daughter.

Figaro decides he must foil the Count’s attempt to seduce his wife-to-be and enlists the help of the Countess, Susanna and Cherubino – the latter disguising himself as a woman. A series of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and thwarted plans ensue, with all members of the household participating as each tries to get what – and who – they want.
