About Fife Opera
Fife Opera presents Scenes from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro — a semi-staged production of Mozart's beloved comedy, updated to the first half of the twentieth century. Running for about 90 minutes without an interval, the performance is sung in English with English surtitles and features Scottish-based soloists and chorus accompanied by a chamber ensemble of piano and strings. Scenes are costumed and joined together with narration, making this an accessible and welcoming entry point for audiences new to opera. Musical Director Derek Clark, Production Director Rosemary Nairne. Suitable for ages 8 and over.
Why see this show?
An amateur company bringing Mozart's Marriage of Figaro to a church setting in a production designed to be enjoyed rather than endured — sung in English, with narration to tie scenes together. A good choice for families or anyone curious about opera without the grandeur of a full staging.
