Komische Oper Berlin: Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro

LE NOZZE DI FIGARO / DIE HOCHZEIT DES FIGAROS / 
THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

If you haven't already had a chance to see this very witty production at the Komische Oper Berlin, currently "Opera House of the Year", then there is one last chance this coming Friday ... the 13th at 19:30. 

Care of www.komische-oper-berlin.de
Directed by Barrie Kosky, who is now Intendant of the Komische Oper, this is a fast paced, well-comedic-timed production. While it is a long opera (3.5 hrs) it remains a very good opera to introduce newcomers, and the benefit at the Komische Oper are the individual seat subtitles, whereby you can choose your language of German, English, French or Turkish. 

Care of www.komische-oper-berlin.de
Tickets are still available, either online via 
www.komische-oper-berlin.de and naturally there is an english portal, otherwise in person at the ticket office at Unter den Linden 41, or at the box office just before the performance.
