SUMMARY:Cinema | MET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro (TBC)
DESCRIPTION:Showing at Firstsite Cinema – MET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro (TBC)! \nMozart’s timeless and profoundly humane comedy returns to Firstsite in MET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro. \nMET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro is a remarkable marriage of Mozart’s music at the height of his genius and one of the best librettos ever set. \nIn adapting a play that caused a scandal with its revolutionary take on 18th-century society\, librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte focused less on the original topical references. \nDa Ponte concentrated more on the timeless issues embedded in the frothy drawing-room comedy. \n*Timings subject to change.  \nBook now on our website or call us on 01206 713 700.
