The Marriage of Figaro

Without boundaries, or beyond them? How long will the true love between Rosina and Almaviva—meant to last forever—actually endure? And at what point does an innocent flirtation with Cherubino turn into something far more serious? Where, in fact, do the boundaries lie in human relationships?

Following the successful production of Handel’s *Alcina*, we once again join director Jiří Heřman to explore the beauty of Mozart’s music—specifically an opera that enjoys enduring popularity the world over. And little wonder: beyond its brilliant, sparkling score—which sweeps you along in a relentless flow, much like a mountain stream—*The Marriage of Figaro* boasts a libretto with the depth and quality of a stage play. This is hardly surprising, given that Da Ponte based his work on the play of the same name by the distinguished French dramatist Pierre de Beaumarchais.
