CFA to present "Marriage of Figaro"
The Center for the Arts will present the Bulgarian State Opera in "The Marriage of Figaro" at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6 in the Mainstage theater in the CFA, North Campus.
Established in 1996 by Ivan Kyurkchiev, the Bulgarian State Opera is based on the great traditions of the art of opera in Bulgaria and presents unique productions combining the best of the opera worlds of Bulgaria and all of Europe.
One of the most popular operas in the world, "Le Nozze Di Figaro" ("The Marriage of Figaro") is an opera buffa in four acts composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with text by Lorenzo de Ponte after Beaumarchais. The production was first performed at the Burgtheater in Vienna in 1786, conducted by Mozart himself.
This humorous comedy of errors takes place at a count's chateau near Seville, where Figaro, the valet, makes plans to marry Susanna, the countess' personal maid, while the philandering Count Almaviva has other plans.
Tickets for "The Marriage of Figaro" are $44, $34 and $24 for general admission and $20 for students. Tickets are available at the CFA box office from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and at all Ticketmaster locations, including Ticketmaster.com.
