New York City's finest emerging singers join the Osh Opera Orchestra for a one-night-only performance of Mozart and da Ponte's comic opera Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). Based on the controversial play by the celebrated French dramatist Beaumarchais, Le nozze di Figaro is story of romantic intrigue and deception. In this sequel to Le barbier de Séville (The Barber of Seville), Count Almaviva attempts to seduce his wife's servant Susanna just before her wedding to the Count's servant, Figaro. When the Countess and Figaro learn of his intentions, they set their own plans in motion to teach him a lesson. Semi-staged; performed in Italian with orchestra.
