The Marriage of Figaro: Volksoper Wien

About the Event

Mozart’s magisterial opera, The Marriage of Figaro, returns to the stage of the famed Volksoper in Vienna for another must‐see run of performances.

Mozart co‐wrote The Marriage of Figaro in 1785 with his librettist Da Ponte. Based on Beaumarchais’ play The Mad Day, the opera tells the tale of the manservant Figaro’s rivalry with his employer, Count Almaviva, after the latter begins pursuing the former’s bride‐to‐be. A grand opera in its own right, The Marriage of Figaro is also a brilliant dissection of the rivalries in France between an aspiring middle class and a defensive aristocracy—the conflict that shaped the country’s great revolution.

In German with German subtitles.
