We regret to announce that our current tour of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro has been cancelled due to the closure of theatres during the current epidemic of COVID-19.

Mid Wales Opera

Spring Tour 2020

Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times

“Jonathan Lyness maintained a lively momentum in the pit with his tiny orchestra, single strings allowing the glorious woodwind writing to blossom, underpinning Studer’s basically traditional but always lively staging… [of] this rather lovable Figaro”

“Cannily witty, big-hearted production of Mozart’s opera”

MWO bring a fresh approach to Mozart’s enduring masterpiece for their 2020 Spring tour. Using Amanda Holden’s English translation filled with ‘uninhibited mirth’ and our own Music Director’s orchestral arrangement of Mozart’s sublime score, our brand-new production will be tailor made in Wales with international performers joined on stage by young talent from the Wales International Academy of Voice.

Join Figaro and Susanna on their marriage merry go round, as servants outwit their masters, women outwit their men and true love triumphs against the odds.
