A complete performance of CCM’s recent production of "The Marriage of Figaro" (Le nozze di Figaro, 1786) is now available for on-demand viewing. "The Marriage of Figaro: Part 1" includes the Overture and Acts 1 and 2.

This iconic opera, which was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, was presented Nov. 18-21, 2021, in Corbett Auditorium. The archived performance was recorded on Saturday, Nov. 20. The opera is sung in Italian with English subtitles available on demand.

Conducted by CCM graduate student Brian McCann with stage direction by CCM Professor of Opera Robin Guarino, The Marriage of Figaro presents a comically tangled web of infidelity, duplicity, blackmail and mistaken identity, all leading to a happily-ever-after ending.

In April 2022, this production won the staff pick for “Best Standing Ovation” as part of CityBeat’s “Best of Cincinnati” coverage, with CityBeat declaring: "The rousing production of Mozart’s sublime comedy The Marriage of Figaro by the opera department of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music earned an equally rousing, well-deserved standing ovation, one of the loudest we’ve heard in a long time.”

The production was also featured in the Cincinnati Business Courier’s roundup of “great musical memories” from 2021, with Janelle Gelfand writing: "Staging by Robin Guarino, professor of opera, allowed each character to shine. The high caliber of singing – through face masks, no less — and the playing by the pit orchestra made it necessary to keep reminding myself that these were students."
