Your dinner includes: hors d’ oeuvres, salad, choice of two entrees, dessert, coffee/tea, and two glasses of wine, for $75 per person (plus taxes and fees). Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar open at 6:15 p.m., and the dinner and show start promptly at 7:00 p.m.
“Le nozze di Figaro takes place in the palace of the Count Almaviva, near Seville. Susanna, the Countess Almaviva’s chamber maid, and Figaro, the Count’s personal valet, are preparing for their wedding.But their marriage could be spoiled by the advances of the Count who is determined to seduce the bride-to-be. With the help of the Countess, who has been neglected by her philandering husband, Figaro and Susanna must use all their imagination to outsmart Almaviva, avoid the traps laid by Marcellina, Bartolo and Basilio, and take advantage of Cherubino’s awkward attempts at romance. Punctuated by a series of improbable events, which evolve into touching moments of melancholy, the Day of Madness will see each mask fall one by one, revealing the true nature of the wearer’s heart.”
