LE NOZZE DI FIGARO

Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro shaped the future of opera buffa and is in many ways the perfect opera. Continuing the story of the characters from Il Barbiere di Siviglia, this masterpiece offers a good dollop of farce, adultery, role-playing and cunning scheming. It also touches on abuse and mental health issues, seen in the Countess's poignant navigation of her fracturing marriage. Presented by Cape Town Opera in collaboration with Sempre Opera, with a fantastic South African cast that includes Conroy Scott as Figaro, William Berger and Siphamandla Moyake as Count and Countess Almaviva, Brittany Smith as Susanna, Megan Kahts as Cherubino, Monica Mhangwana as Marcellina, Danie Verster as Barto
