A little bit of Figaro

 

A 20-minute adaptation of Mozart's irresistible opera The Marriage of Figaro, brought to life by storyteller Lissa Lorenzo, soprano Teuta Koco, cellist Sonia Cromarty and guitarist Sean Shibe.

 

A little bit of Figaro tells the tale of serving girl Susanna, her cheeky fiance, Figaro, and their employer, Count Almaviva, who will stop at nothing to make Figaro and Susanna's big day end in disaster.

 

Watch their world unfold in front of you, on beautifully hand-drawn scenes housed inside a miniature box-theatre. It wouldn't be opera without music and you'll get a taste of Mozart's stunning score in an arrangement specially created by Scottish Opera's Head of Music Derek Clark.
