Opera North brings Mozart's comic opera The Marriage of Figaro to the Hull New Theatre.
Opera North are bringing The Marriage of Figaro to Hull New Theatre on Thursday 26 and Saturday 28 March 2027, both nights starting at 7pm. It's Mozart's comic masterpiece, and it's one of those few operas that works just as well if you've never seen one as it does if you've seen it a dozen times.
For those who aren't familiar, The Marriage of Figaro is a comedy of manners set in a great house, built around the servants Figaro and Susanna as they try to get married while their employer, Count Almaviva, tries to get in the way. It's a story of mistaken identities, hidden letters and a fair bit of chaos, and the music is some of Mozart's most famous. If you've heard the overture, you've heard a good chunk of the energy the whole show carries.
Opera North is based in Leeds, so they're coming over from West Yorkshire for these two dates. They're a touring company, which means they take their productions on the road rather than staying put in one house, and this is one of the big ones they're bringing to the city.

Tickets are £16 to £47, with a £1.50 booking fee and a £2.50 facility fee per ticket on top. Both performances are at 7pm, so you've got the choice of a Thursday night or a Saturday, depending on when you'd rather be out. If you're thinking of going, it's worth keeping in mind there are only two nights, so you'll want to pick your date sooner rather than later.
