Thompson Theatre
Tickets: $21 adults, $17 seniors, $7 students
University of Delaware Opera Theatre opens its much-anticipated third season in beautiful Thompson Theatre with Mozart’s timeless masterpiece, The Marriage of Figaro. Mozart’s magical music meets the dramatic genius of librettist Lorenzo da Ponte with riotous results in what would be the first of three legendary collaborations, including Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni. Based on an eighteenth century French play, but set in Seville, The Marriage of Figaro chronicles the eventful wedding day of two clever peasants. It sounds so simple and sweet, but a philandering count, a tormented wife, some excitable adolescents and a few surprises turn the day into an adventure that you will not want to miss.
Musical Director and Conductor Dr. Brian Stone will guide the University of Delaware Symphony Orchestra in this exciting new production produced and directed by Dr. Blake Smith and designed by Eddy Seger.
