Go Figaro
Epic tale survives the centuries to return for
Portland O p era production
None o f us is likely to remember a time when something as tame as
an opera— relatively speaking— might instigate a major political and
social upheaval. But without The M arriage o f Figaro, some say the
French Revolution may never have happened.
Say whaaaaaaat? It’s true. Louis XVI banned the original three-part
play, penned in 1784 by Pierre Beaumarchais, much to the chagrin of
Marie Antoinette. The spotlight on the shortcomings of rank and privi­
lege infuriated French nobility. When a sprightly young composer
named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart got hold o f the play a couple years
later, it continued its nerve-racking trajectory, this time as an opera
buffa— a comic opera— in four acts that irked the Austrian monarchy.
After hundreds of years and hundreds more spirited productions,
M ozart’s The M arriage o f Figaro returns with the Portland Opera, what
also marks the return o f baritone Daniel Mobbs in the title role.
Mobbs, whose recent work with the company includes his 2006 turn
as Leporello in Don Giovanni , has garnered acclaim in the part be­
fore— The New York Times gushed that his performance was “robust
and sassy.” Well now...
Audiences are invited to join general director Christopher Mat-
taliano after each show for Back Talk Sessions with a variety o f freshly
off-stage performers, directors and conductors. You can’t get much
closer to the action without actually being in the cast.
Nov. 4 ,1 0 and 12, 7:30 p.m., Nov. 6, 2 p.m.; Keller Auditorium, 222 SIV
Clay St.; $20 and up, $10 fo r students/military; ticketmaster.com, in per­
