Nashville Opera presents Mozart's beloved comedy The Marriage of Figaro, performed in Italian with English supertitles, in a lavish 18th-century style production.
Nashville Opera closes its season with Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, playing TPAC Jackson Hall on Thursday, April 15 and Saturday, April 17, 2027. Both performances start at 7:30 PM. It's Mozart's most beloved comedy, and this production marks its return to the Nashville stage after a decade.
There's a specific way they're handling the story here: it's staged as a sequel to The Barber of Seville, set years later with the same characters. The production leans into a lush, maximalist 18th-century 'Marie Antoinette' style—powdered wigs and gold trim throughout the house of the philandering Count Almaviva. While Figaro spends the play scheming to outsmart his master, it's the brilliant Susanna and the resilient Countess who really pull the strings to save the wedding day, all carried by some of Mozart's most sublime melodies.
