'Le nozze di Figaro,' with its ubiquitous overture that's been co-opted in TV commercials, is a hilarious romp of deceit, class struggles, betrayal and redemption.
Cathalena E. Burch UA Opera Theater opens its 2022-23 season this weekend with a production Director Cynthia Stokes says is the most perfect opera ever written.
“It’s a huge production and a huge undertaking, but we had the capacity ... in a bumper crop of singers,” she said. “This is a really, really talented crop of singers coming up from the program.” “Figaro” is a tale of social divisions, power struggles, mistaken identity, betrayal and ultimately forgiveness, as Figaro sets out to marry fellow servant Susanna, the Countess’s maid. But on the way to the altar, the couple faces roadblocks from the vindictive Dr. Bartolo, still smarting over losing Rosina to the Count, who claims that Figaro wrote a letter pledging to marry the much older Marcellina, Bartolo’s old housekeeper.
“We are punching so high above our weight class with this,” Stokes said about staging “Figaro.” “But you know what: Why not? Why not give these talented singers the opportunity to sink their teeth in the best opera ever.”
