Tuesday is the last chance to catch the “scintillating” St. Pete Opera production of “The Marriage of Figaro”

The audiences and the critics have spoken – they love the current St. Petersburg Opera produciton of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.

Your last chance to catch this hit show is Tuesday night at the Palladium. Showtime is 7:30.

Here’s what Tampa Bay Times critic John Fleming said in his rave review:

ST. PETERSBURG — Identity — mistaken and otherwise — is the theme of The Marriage of Figaro, which is winding up the season for St. Petersburg Opera. In working out its characters’ sense of self, Mozart’s “subtle and elaborate comedy” (in the words of George Bernard Shaw in his music critic days) can either be charming or a bit menacing, playing off the sexual and class politics at the heart of Lorenzo Da Ponte’s intricately plotted libretto. Ideally it should be both.

If this staging under director Dean Anthony shortchanges the politics by taking a light, broadly comic approach, nobody in the audience seemed to be complaining Friday at the Palladium Theater, and rightly so. It was a scintillating musical experience, with interesting, mostly young singers and a 34-piece orchestra finely conducted by Mark Sforzini.
