29th Annual HCO Mainstage: Le Nozze di Figaro (2022)


Performances run Wednesday, February 2 through Sunday, February 6. Show page HERE

Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), marks Harvard College Opera’s triumphant return to the Agassiz Mainstage after the 2020-2021 virtual season. The story of the wily barber of Seville and his action-packed wedding day, this riotous and raunchy opera follows Figaro and his bride-to-be Susanna as they strive to outwit the lascivious Count Almaviva (and sometimes each other), enlisting the Count's long-suffering wife and a randy page along the way. As their capers play out alongside the threat of military conscription, hilariously oblique legal battles, and a healthy dose of disguise, the happy couple's celebration dissolves into four acts of chaos that have kept audiences on the edges of their seats for two and a half centuries.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles. All performances are family friendly. Performance times, livestream and ticketing links, and COVID-19 safety policies, as well as cast, staff, and orchestra credits, will be updated regularly on the show page linked above.

This opera produced with the generous support of the Office for the Arts at Harvard and the staff at the.
