Fancy a bit of culture?! As part of its nationwide tour, Opera Theatre Ireland is bringing “The Marriage of Figaro” to Tralee on next Sunday 30th May. Filled with love, “The Marriage of Figaro” tackles the deepest of human emotions with the lightest of comic touches. “Figaro” bubbles joyously with Mozart’s enthusiasm for life. While charming melodies and gorgeous harmonies ripple across the surface, dark undercurrents of sexual tension and class resentment swirl beneath. The predatory Count Almaviva, bored with married life, has cast his aristocratic eye upon his wife’s servant, the enchanting Susanna, who is about to marry the Count’s factotum Figaro. Sit back and observe the ensuing comical chaos as mistaken identities, cross-dressing, jilted lovers and vengeful suitors are added to the mix.
Not an Opera buff? Not to worry, this opera is sung in English and I am informed “it will delight the seasoned opera fan and the first time opera-goer alike.”
If you are heading down to Tralee for a night at the Opera in Siamsa Tire Theatre why not stay in one of our great Wedding Venues in Tralee, the Carlton (formerly Fels Point).
