Opera North: The Marriage of Figaro

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Thu 12 Mar 2026 and Sat 14 Mar 2026

★★★★★ A delight from start to finish

- The Reviews Hub

Mozart’s comic masterpiece is a match made in mayhem!

It’s supposed to be the happiest day of Figaro and Susanna’s lives, but this is opera, so there’s plenty of time for some plot twists before they say ‘I do’. With Count Almaviva looking set to make a move on the bride-to-be, the young couple must hatch a shrewd plan to secure their happy ending. Cue a whirlwind of secret scheming and surprise revelations.

This brand-new production of The Marriage of Figaro reimagines the mischief in a quintessential modern country home. Mozart’s music, performed live by the Orchestra of Opera North, fizzes with fun and plumbs the depths of emotion. It all adds up to an invitation that’s too good to turn down.
