The Marriage of Figaro, Mozart’s masterpiece, is the second production of Florida Grand Opera’s 78th Season. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s intoxicating take on one of the great ensemble comedies ever written, is scheduled for four performances at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami from January 26 through February 3, 2019, and two performances at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale on February 7 and 9, 2019.

The production boasts a cadre of impressive voices, including American baritone Jonathan Michie [former FGO Studio Artist] and Russian soprano Lyubov Petrova, both of whom sang with Florida Grand Opera in previous seasons, and whom our audiences love,”says General Director and CEO, Susan T. Danis. “We’re also excited to welcome back two additional former Studio Artists, bass-baritone Calvin Griffin and soprano Elena Galván, both having graduated from the FGO Studio in recent years and started their careers in the industry.”

From the breathless opening notes of the overture to the touching final curtain, Mozart’s comic masterpiece brilliantly bucks the conventions of his time to deliver an ageless message of love and forgiveness.

Featuring baritone Jonathan Michie (FGO, 2013, The Magic Flute) as Count Almaviva and soprano Lyubov Petrova (FGO, 2017, Eugene Onegin) as the Countess, the company also brings back bass-baritone Calvin Griffin (FGO, 2017, A Masked Ball) as Figaro and soprano Elena Galván (FGO, 2017, A Masked Ball) as Susanna.

  • Conducted by Andrew Bisantz, who has received rave reviews from Opera News, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
  • Directed by Elise Sandell who directed Lucia di Lammermoor in FGO’s 2017/18 Season.
  • Sung in Italian, with projected translations in English and Spanish.
  • Run time is three hours, including one intermission.
