Oh come faithful lovers in happy accord!

The Marriage of Figaro was composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. According to Wikipedia,

"The action of The Marriage of Figaro takes place after the events in The Barber of Seville and recounts a single day in the palace of the Count Almaviva. Rosina is now the Countess; her husband, the Count, is seeking the favors of Susanna, who is to be wed to her love, Figaro, the Count's valet. When the Count detects the interest of the young page Cherubino, in the Countess, he tries to get rid of Cherubino by giving him an officer's commission in his own regiment. Figaro, Susanna, and the Countess conspire to embarrass the Count and expose his infidelity. Meanwhile Figaro is caught up in a dispute with Bartolo and Marcellina, which ends when he is revealed to be their son. At night, all find themselves on the palace grounds, where a comic series of cases of mistaken identity results in the Count's humiliation and then forgiveness by the Countess. The action takes place in Seville, Spain."

Though I wasn't extremely excited about being a part of this show at first, I am becoming increasingly more excited as opening night gets closer and closer. I think we have a very entertaining piece of work to present and though I am not in it ALL that much, I think it's a good show for everyone to see because I mean, how often does a full staged opera get done around here? Not that often.

So come see it!

Later, gators!
