Synopsis
The fully-staged operatic production of the AtG season is a brand new adaptation of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, entitled Figaro’s Wedding. It will involve a contemporary re-imagining of the setting, a new English translation by AtG Founder Joel Ivany, and an impressive cast.
You won’t find more incredible music and a zanier story. A chic, modern Toronto wedding, love, betrayal, bills and flowers. Figaro’s Wedding will have it all. It is the MUST wedding of the season.
Marking an AtG first, the production will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra provided by the Music in the Barns Chamber Ensemble.
