Opera on Tap: Figaro with a Twist (and a Fork)
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, laughter, and dining as Opera on Tap presents a delightfully condensed version of Mozart’s beloved opera, The Marriage of Figaro.
“Almost All Of… Le Nozze Di Figaro” brings the brilliance of Mozart’s full-length masterpiece into a lively and accessible 90-minute performance, featuring a semi-staged production, a narrator to guide the story, and a talented cast of 5–9 singers, accompanied by piano and string quartet.
Whether you're a seasoned opera lover or a curious newcomer, this unique take on a classic promises to entertain, enlighten, and enchant—all in one evening.
