About The Marriage of Figaro

This scandalous opera follows the story of the cheating Count Almaviva as he pursues his servant's future wife, Susanna. The scandal puts the marriage of Figaro and his wife at risk. As the household takes sides, drama ensues with deception, disguise, and double-crossing. The conflict results in comedic chaos for Figaro's love life.

Opera was very good, a little loose in places. The English libretto was funny but occasionally failed to fire the deepest feelings. I thought the set worked well. Applauded enthusiastically at the end with everyone else. My main issue was my seat was broken and had clearly been broken for a while. I managed to move and reported it. Had there been no seats nearby it would have ruined my enjoyment.

In the King of Lord strange things can happen, but singing an Opera in English, when should be entirely in Italian..!! The production was made as very funny musical, poor scenography, costumes of the performers very casual and not adapted to the time of the opera was written. Terrible experience. I left 15' after it started. God, forgive them, they don't know what are doing.

Beverley Lawrence

Beautiful theatre, thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I will definitely be visiting again in the not too distant future!

Bryan

mediocre overall experience. Nice sound i have to say and amazing actors/singers. First part sublime, such amazing songs and acts. Second part we were pushed to a "cave", just because we went to the bathroom on the club next-door as the Coliseum as packed of people at break time, Came back and not only the doors were shut, also they did not let us take our seat on the last row of the seats, as we could annoy someone, so they took us into a basement next to the restaurant where there was no seats, only a few folding chairs and a TV, not a screen, a TV! So please if ever anyone will leave the Coliseum to use the bathroom, make sure you run, otherwise you will be locked outside! Give a 2 out of 5 because obviously the best part of the show we couldn't really watch/listen properly. But i still recommend.

Stephen Adair

It was an amazing, magical and dream like performance.

Janina Zaikauskaite

Sumptuously! The staging is amazing, the actors play at the height. Thanks !!!!

Colin

I think it disgraceful that you charge £125 for seats A37 &A38 that are so uncomfortable. For your customers sake please replace the seat which is soft,made up of ridges,old and unpleasant to sit on for 3 hours. NOT good at all. Please go and sit on them in temperatures of 26C+. When you have a full house. Will the manager please start managing Totally ruined a special birthday treat.

John Williams

One of the best productions of The Marriage of Figaro that OI have ever seen

Michael Spruzs

Very good, excellent set, brilliant soprano. Music could be louder! (no expert). Soprano loud clear compared with other singers and the audience seemed to appreciate her the most. Did sit with the gods!

Christina Paumgarten

it was very enjoyable, and I am picky!

SC Earley

Absolutely fantastic. The countess and Cherubino were exceptional.

Dahlia Renaud
