If I was going to introduce someone to the world of opera, I might have them take in a performance of THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, because it's a tuneful show filled with farcical plot machinations that are both amusing and satisfying in the manner in which they unfold. There's a reason why Mozart's work, with its witty libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte (translated with considerable aplomb by Andrew Porter) has become one of the most performed operas of all time; it's a great deal of fun. The Opera Theatre of St. Louis has opened their Spring season with a charming and delightful production that perfectly captures the spirit of this delicious satire of the aristocracy.
