Many consider this Mozart's most perfect -- and hilarious -- opera. After his marriage to Rosina, the Count's palace becomes a tangled web of love affairs. The pageboy Cherubino courts the Countess while the Count pursues the maidservant Susanna, who is betrothed to the wily Figaro. The Marriage of Figaro is conducted by Patrick Fournillier and set in a gorgeous production originally conceived by Göran Jarvefelt and directed by Harry Silverstein.

In Jules Massenet's Werther, the young poet Werther has fallen desperately in love with the beautiful Charlotte. When he discovers that she is honor-bound to marry Albert, he tries to stay away, but his passion draws him back to her. Finally, Werther decides the only way he can find peace is through death. The performance by Washington National Opera features Italian tenor Francesco Meli in his company debut in the title role and mezzo-soprano Sonia Ganassi as Charlotte. The two performers recently sang the same roles together in Parma, Italy. Chris Alexander directs and Emmanuel Villaume conducts. Learn More

The Marriage of Figaro is the #1 favorite opera of many of the most frequent opera-goers; certainly no other opera has better or more easily loved music. This superb production was brilliantly staged and performed. An extreme pleasure! Now that I've enjoyed a virtually perfect Figaro, I may never pay to attend a future production. My future opera-going will be for other, not better, masterpieces.

Great seat! An adequate production of a fun show. Very enjoyable despite the uneven singing and occasional disjoint with the orchestra.
