No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to its most famous building. And the best thing to do when you visit the Sydney Opera House is to come inside and see an opera performance.
A chaotic whirlwind of mistaken identities makes the wedding day of Figaro and Susanna a lesson in hilarity.
With a witty, fast-moving libretto and hum-along melodies, it's easy to see why Mozart's classic comedy continues to charm audiences the world over.
Musically, this is the ultimate ensemble opera, with brilliant trios, quartets and even a fantastic sextet laced through the score. Dramatically, it's the opera with everything: lovers and liaisons, tricks and disguises, lust and laughter.
The Countess loves Count Almaviva, but he's got designs on her servant Susanna. It's Susanna's wedding day, and Figaro has no plans of giving up his bride. In one crazy day of disguises, duplicity, desire and utter madness, the fiancés must foil the philandering noble's seductive advances.
