The Marriage of Figaro: By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A sharp comedy of clever servants and clueless nobles, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro follows Figaro, Susanna and their friends as they race to outsmart the Count and save a rapidly unraveling wedding day. What begins as a simple plan turns into a tangle of disguises, secret meetings and quick reversals, all lifted by Mozart’s bright and brilliant score. This classic opera mixes social satire with heartfelt humor and delivers a story where wit triumphs, love steadies the course and the underdogs earn a hard‑won victory.

Great repertoire, lavish scenery, amazing voices and outstanding value—these are the hallmarks of the CU Boulder College of Music Eklund Opera Program. Director Leigh Holman and Music Director Nicholas Carthy bring you the best of classical and contemporary opera in three fascinating productions each season and in the CU New Opera Workshop each summer.
