With its mix of the libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte and the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Marriage of Figaro is known as one of the finest musical combinations in opera history. This opera classic, which tells of the day before Figaro’s wedding, is full of energy, pace, and tremendous twists and turns.

As guest director for this production, the Sibelius Academy’s opera welcomes the Israeli-born Noa Naamat, whose international career is progressing in leaps and bounds.
