The comedic opera The Marriage of Figaro is one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most performed operas and among the most well-known operas in the world. It follows the story of servants Susanna and Figaro trying to get married despite the wishes of their employer Count Almaviva, who wishes to have Susanna for himself.

The opera is a combination of beautiful music, powerful drama, and a whole lot of laughs.
