Esteemed baritone and RCM alumnus Sir Thomas Allen directs a rousing performance of Mozart's much-loved comic opera, produced by the RCM Opera Studio.

Composed in 1786, Mozart's classic opera has all the ingredients of a modern rom com: love, revenge and deception. Watch courtship turn to chaos for two servants, Figaro and Susanna, as their plans to wed are thwarted by the lecherous Count Almaviva. Lose yourself in Mozart's timeless melodies and witty libretto as the talented cast lead us through a myriad of mistaken identities, mishaps and misunderstandings.

Will our hero finally get his bride, or will the marriage of Figaro ultimately descend into mayhem?

The performance is sung in Italian.
