| Description |
Adelaide will have the chance to see The Marriage of Figaro in its original form - as a play, not an opera - at the Festival Centre's Playhouse this month. The Lighthouse Company is presenting the play by Pierre Beaumarchais, whose work inspired the famous Mozart opera. The play is an elegant and acutely-observed comedy about status and sex. |
