"Terrific fun... sung and acted so beautifully" **** - Time Out

On the day they are due to be married, Susanna horrifies Figaro by revealing that the unwanted attentions of his boss - the womanising Count - are becoming increasingly insistent. Further complications are caused by Cherubino's infatuation with the Countess, who loves her unfaithful husband but is flattered to be noticed by a much younger man...

Olivier Award winning OperaUpClose return to Oxford with their hit production of Mozart's joyous The Marriage of Figaro. Bursting with great tunes, laugh-out-loud comedy and powerful insights into what it is to be human, it's little wonder that The Marriage of Figaro is one of the world's best-loved operas.

Directed by Sarah Tipple, this highly inventive and theatrical production is sung in a new English version by Robin Norton-Hale (La Bohème & La Traviata) with an orchestration for piano, viola and clarinet by Alex Beetschen.
