#LyricFigaro
Join us at Lyric as the resourceful
Figaro gets ready to marry his lovely
Susanna – and endeavors to get his
fiancée to the altar with her virtue
still intact! His boss, the Count, has
designs on Susanna and sees no
reason to let her escape his noble
snare, even if it means breaking the
heart of his own long-suering bride.
But there’s rebellion in the air in a
comedy that boasts more salon drama
and backroom maneuverings than a
whole season of
Downton Abbey.
Enjoy Mozart’s masterpiece of
mistaken identities, morals, and
manners, directed by Chicago
Shakespeare Theater’s brilliant
Barbara Gaines
with stunning new
sets and sumptuous costumes.
Experience the Lyric debuts of
two major European stars –
Adam
Plachetka
and
Christiane Karg
–
with
Luca Pisaroni
as the brilliantly
rapacious Count and
Amanda
Majeski
as “a ravishing, moving, and
dignified Countess.”
