The Marriage of Figaro (or The Crazy Day)

We are very excited to be presenting the Boston premiere of a new edition of The Marriage of Figaro February 6-9, 2020, at and in collaboration with Longy School of Music of Bard College. Our production uses the new Flexible Figaro edition of the libretto, which incorporates dialogue from Beaumarchais' original play that Mozart and Da Ponte had to cut or edit to get past Viennese censors in their day.

Featuring a cast of BOC's young professional singers and Longy graduate students, this sparkling, vibrant production explores the very timely themes of Mozart’s comic masterpiece. Using a brilliant combination of text by Beaumarchais and Da Ponte, this “Crazy Day” in the Marriage of Figaro is distilled to a tight two hours.

The production will be accompanied by chamber orchestra, conducted by Maestro Tian Hui Ng and staged by Andrea Huber, celebrated singer and director in Germany and Austria, who is returning home to direct this production. The Marriage of Figaro or The Crazy Day will take place in Longy School of Music of Bard College’s Pickman Hall.

Thurs 2/6 at 8pm & Sat 2/8 at 8pm
