With Figaro’s help, Count Almaviva and Rosina were happily married at the conclusion of The Barber of Seville. We rejoin their story several years later on the eve of Figaro’s wedding. For the second installment of its critically-acclaimed Figaro Project, On Site Opera presented the North American premiere of Marcos Portugal’s telling of The Marriage of Figaro.

Portuguese composer Marcos Portugal’s (1762-1830) prolific catalog of over 70 dramatic works – including 40 operas, and more than 140 sacred works – earned him international success in 18th-century Europe. He secured a special place in Portuguese musical history by composing the first official national anthems of Portugal and Brazil. Portugal’s The Marriage of Figaro, with a libretto by Gaetano Rossi, was written for Carnival season of 1800 at the Teatro San Benedetto – just 13 years after Mozart’s Figaro. OSO’s North American premiere production gives New York audiences a rare opportunity to hear Portugal’s vibrant music in a re-orchestration by guitarist José Luis Iglésias and OSO’s Geoffrey McDonald, based on the new critical edition of the score edited by David Cranmer. Sung in English in a translation by Gilly French and Jeremy Gray, with dialogue adapted by Joan Holden.

Presented in partnership with The New School’s Mannes College of Music and The Portuguese Consulate in New York.
