Opera Review: The Marriage of Figaro, National Opera House, Wexford
Spring seems to be still lurking in the wings but there was plenty to warm the cockles in the heartening premiere in Wexford of Irish National Opera’s production of The Marriage of Figaro.
As the base for Wexford Festival, the National Opera House is used to hosting obscure operas and it’s rare to hear a staple of the repertoire there. This opera picked up a thread started last year with Wide Open Opera’s production of Rossini’s Barber of Seville based on the same characters from plays by Beaumarchais.
