Falconbridge Players will present Figaro: The Story So Far on Tuesday, August 22 at 7:00pm. Free admission, RSVP at Eventbrite. Doors open at 6:30pm.
A light-hearted, high-speed tour of the first two adventures of the iconic rascal Figaro. No opera glasses needed!
Only know Figaro from the opera? Or like most of us, just from what you picked up from classic cartoons like The Rabbit Of Seville? We're here to help!
The wily and inventive Figaro appeared in a trilogy of plays (yes! Figaro is originally a stage character, not an Operaman!) written by Pierre Beaumarchais. In September, Falconbridge Players will present the world premiere of A Timely Intervention By the Former Barber Of Seville (Figaro's Final Adventure) at the Bartell Theater. But first, the story so far!
Falconbridge performers will present a fast, fun twirl through the first two plays (The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro), just enough so that you know who's done what to who and why you should care by time Figaro makes his Timely Intervention to save the reputation, honor, and family of Count Almaviva.
Presented in the Arts + Literature Laboratory main gallery, where you don't need opera glasses to enjoy every minute!
