From London's Royal Opera House, Tom Service presents one of the best-loved of all operas, starring Luca Micheletti and Ying Fang as husband-and-wife-to-be Figaro and Susanna. Mozart's evergreen comedy of seduction, jealousy, revenge - with a hint of sedition and revolt - is based on a banned play by Pierre de Beaumarchais. It's a story set in one day at the palace of Count Almaviva, who tries to foil the marriage of his servants Figaro and Susanna, creating havoc around him and changing everyone forever. It's the 12th appearance at the Royal Opera House of this critically-acclaimed production by Sir David McVicar.
