Often hailed as the “gold standard” of opera, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro returns to Lyric Opera of Kansas City!

Mozart’s masterful portrayal of an extraordinary wedding day marries sparkling wit with profound insights on love, aging, forgiveness, and, ultimately, the joy of coming together. As they prepare to tie the knot, Susanna and Figaro must contend with their amorous employer, Count Almaviva; his wife, the Countess; the scheming Marcellina; and a colorful cast of characters who place numerous (and often amusing) obstacles in their path to the altar. Love wins, carried by music of breathtaking beauty, warmth, and humanity.

Opera is best enjoyed by engaging with the art in every available way. Visit us online to see all of our community events to grow closer with the story of The Marriage of Figaro, and view the digital program to prepare for your performance. Don’t miss the wedding of the season right here in KC!
