The week in classical: The Marriage of Figaro; Proms 53, 54, 55 & 56 review
Briefly

In a production that blends precision and humor, McVicar's 2006 staging of The Marriage of Figaro captures the essence of Mozart's emotional narrative through its vivid performances.
The tension sustains in a pivotal moment of Act 2, as Mozart's playful motifs intricately intertwine with the libretto's humor, showcasing the composer's genius in shaping suspense.
The performances are highlighted by Jeremy White's increasingly grizzled portrayal of Antonio, and Rebecca Evans' captivating presence as Marcellina, which adds layers to Mozart's opus.
With the deft staging and engaging character portrayals, this revival explores complexities that echo the timelessness of Mozart's composition, ensuring the production remains relevant.
