Jeremiah Jackson went from mentor to tormentor and Tim Benz went from wisecracking DJ to dumbfounded doctor in this two-act cut-up. How will a night at the opera transform you?

No matter how you may feel when you arrive at the Benedum Center for this opera, you'll leave laughing, maybe even singing, "Figaro, Figaro, Fiiiiigaro!" It's hard not to love that charming barber/man about town in this infectiously funny opera (the "prequel" to The Marriage of Figaro). |
|
Join us one hour before each performance for the Pre-Opera Talk. Free to all performance ticketholders, Pre-Opera Talks are full of insights on the opera, the composer and more! |
Sung in Italian with English texts projected above the stage
Estimated run time is 3 hours, with 1 intermission
Suitable for older kids: if it were a movie, we'd give it a PG rating
