Panache Theatre - Le Mariage de Figaro

Thursday, 2 - Saturday, 4 November - 7:30pm
Saturday, 4 November - 2pm (Matinee)
Star Theatres, 145 Sir Donald Bradman Drive, Hilton

The Marriage of Figaro continues the plot of The Barber of Seville several years later, and recounts a single "day of madness" (la folle journée) in the palace of Count Almaviva near Seville, Spain. Rosina is now the Countess; Dr. Bartolo is seeking revenge against Figaro for thwarting his plans to marry Rosina himself; and Count Almaviva has degenerated from the romantic youth of Barber into a scheming, bullying, skirt-chasing scoundrel.

This performance is in French with English subtitles. Tickets are available here
