Heritage Opera brings its latest production “The Marriage of Figaro” to Nantwich next month.
Opera lovers in South Cheshire are in for a treat when Mozart’s best-loved comedy takes to the stage at the Civic Hall on August 2.
Ravishing melodies accompany a farcical story surrounding the wedding day of Seville’s favourite barber, Figaro, to the winsome Susanna, maid to the Countess Almaviva.
The only fly in the ointment is the Countess’s errant husband, the Count, who has designs of his own on Susanna.
The plot thickens, with a randy pageboy hiding in a cupboard, a drunken gardener making a nuisance of himself, bridesmaids, letters, midnight trysts in the garden, shocking revelations, and, eventually, a happy ending.
With original period costumes designed by Alexander McQueen disciple Martin Worth, this show will be a feast for the ears and the eyes.
Manchester-based Heritage Opera have been performing to audiences in the North West and beyond since 2006, with their unique take on the world’s best-loved operas.
The performance will be sung in a new English translation by musical director Christopher Gill, and features a fully-professional cast of international opera singers.
The show starts at 7.30pm on August 7, with tickets £20/ £18 concessions/£10 under 16s.
Box office number 0161 402 3272, Mon-Fri 9-7, Sat 9-4, or book online at www.heritageopera.co.uk
