Mozart – The Marriage of Figaro<\/p>\n

Can true love shake up the social order and help fight social inequalities? The Marriage of Figaro, a landmark work by the great Mozart, is a comic opera that is intended as a critique of the French bourgeoisie of the time – a class seriously weakened and on the verge of collapsing.<\/p>\n

We find ourselves in Seville, in the South of Spain. Figaro and Susanna, valet and chambermaid of the Count and Countess Almaviva, are in love and are about to join their destinies together. But their marriage preparations are threatened by a number of traps and obstacles set up by a devious Count Almaviva, who is infatuated with the bride-to-be. Will the union of Figaro and Susanna prevail?<\/p>\n

In collaboration with l\u2019Op\u00e9ra de Montr\u00e9al.<\/a><\/p>\n
