The Marriage of Figaro: by Mozart

Such a fun opera. I have to say that it is always nice to have one or two that are just fun to watch. Lots of characters and situations. This opera includes some slapstick elements which are always a treat. Very delightful to hear the entire opera house roaring with laughter.

Pros: Entirely enjoyable. An opera for the masses. It is ridiculously popular and for good reason. The staging was great. The costumes were great. Their were large sections of pseudo conversation (which I happen to like)

Cons: Crowded theater. That is about as bad as I can say though!

Must See Rating: *****
