SUMMARY:Mozart - The Marriage of Figaro
DESCRIPTION:Mozart – The Marriage of Figaro\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mozart – The Marriage of Figaro\n\n\n\nGet ready for an evening of sparkling tunes\, tangled romances\, and razor-sharp wit as international opera star Danielle de Niese makes her directing debut in Wild Arts’ (★★★★ The Guardian\, ★★★★ Opera Now) production of Mozart’s comic opera of intrigue\, secret lovers and clever disguises. \n\n\n\nIt’s the wedding of the year but with mistaken identities\, cheeky servants\, and a Count with a wandering eye\, the ‘happily ever after’ might take a little work. On the morning of their wedding\, Figaro and Susanna discover that their employer\, the amorous Count Almaviva\, has his sights set on the bride-to-be.  \n\n\n\nWhat follows is one madcap day of disguises\, misunderstandings\, and ingenious plotting as servants outsmart masters and love triumphs against the odds. \n\n\n\nBursting with glorious melodies — from the fizzing overture to the heart-stopping beauty of ‘Dove sono’ and the jubilant finale — The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at his most brilliant. It’s an irresistible blend of comedy and chaos\, set to music that’s simply impossible not to love. \n\n\n\nFast\, funny\, and fabulously full of heart\, this is proof that love (helped along by a touch of trickery) always wins in the end. \n\n\n\nStaged production performed in period costume. Sung in English in a new translation by Danielle de Niese and Orlando Jopling.  \n\n\n\nCredits \n\n\n\nWild ArtsWild Arts EnsembleOrlando Jopling conductor Danielle de Niese directorLaura Stanfield designerEmma Large associate directorEleanor Corr The Wild Arts Ensemble Leader \n\n\n\nJack Sandison FigaroEllie Neate SusannaTimothy Nelson Count AlmavivaElinor Rolfe Johnson Countess AlmavivaAbbie Ward CherubinoOlivia Ray MarcellinaTimothy Dawkins Bartolo / AntonioWilliam Searle Basilio / Don CurzioEleanor O’Driscoll Barbarina / cover Cherubino \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Miraculous… Dynamic singing\, charismatic orchestral play\, and clever stage jokes wed finery with fun.” ★★★★ \n\n\n\nThe Guardian  \n\n\n\n\n\n“Remarkable… Emotionally and dramatically full with an excellent cast and instrumental flair.” ★★★★ \n\n\n\nThe Times \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nAdult – £24.20 to £66.00 \n\n\n\nStudent – £10.00 to £15.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a booking fee \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 01 August 2026 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 40 minutes\, including an interval \n\n\n\n75-minute first half \n\n\n\n20-minute interval \n\n\n\n65-minute second half \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSohmen Concert Hall \n\n\n\nAge guidance:  \n\n\n\n12+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nSchwarzman Centre for the Humanities is a major new cultural and academic landmark for the University of Oxford\, bringing together seven humanities faculties with performance\, exhibition\, and public engagement spaces under one roof.
