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
