CloseThere’s trouble in the corridors of power when the Head of State cold-shoulders his First Lady for an intern who’s supposed to be marrying Figaro, his personal aide. As the wedding party approaches, the question is who will be dancing down the aisle when the band strikes up and who is doomed to be the wilting wallflower?
Mozart’s fiery, farcical masterpiece comes alive with colour in Opera Warwick’s latest production, following last year’s sell-out success of The Threepenny Opera. Bringing this riotous opera up to date, the production will blow open the seedy backstage of politics and explode into a world of music and dancing at High Society’s event of the century. This new English translation by Vicar of Dibley screenwriter Kit Hesketh-Harvey features a live orchestra and stars Richard Whitehouse as the Count.
Director: Felicity Green
