The Metropolitan Opera’s production of Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro” comes to the Orcas Center’s screen on Wednesday, May 28 at 6 p.m. Filmed live in high definition, these on-screen events from the Metropolitan Opera offer a diverse sampling of the world’s best performers at the height of their careers – giving you the best seat in the house from the comfort of your own island!

A profoundly humane comedy, “Le Nozze di Figaro” is a remarkable marriage of Mozart’s music at the height of his genius and one of the best librettos ever set. In adapting a play that caused a scandal with its revolutionary take on 18th-century society, librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte focused less on the original topical references and more on the timeless issues embedded in the frothy drawing-room comedy.

Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut leading an extraordinary cast in Mozart’s comic masterpiece. Bass-baritone Michael Sumuel stars as the clever valet Figaro, opposite soprano Olga Kulchynska as his betrothed, the wily maid Susanna.

Ticket prices range from $10-$63 with an additional $2 ticketing fee. Tickets are available online at www.OrcasCenter.org.
