Baldwin Wallace University Opera presents "Le nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro)

Mozart and Da Ponte’s masterpiece is filled with mistaken identity, surprise paternity and intrigue. The production features a spectacular Art Deco design, an aesthetic and style that complement the opera's revolutionary theme of the "lower class" outsmarting the "upper class." This iconic setting evokes and honors the revolutionary spirit of Beaumarchais' original play. The opera's enduring message—that all individuals deserve equal rights and treatment under the law—remains as powerful and pertinent today as it was in 1786 when the opera was composed.
