Please note: Due to the increasing rate of international travel restrictions, Nick Deutsch has needed to return to Germany earlier than scheduled to be with his family and this Sydney performance that he was scheduled to lead has been cancelled.
The Melbourne performance of this work (on Monday 23 March) will continue, as scheduled, now led by Thomas Hutchinson. Click here for more details.
A surprising and delightful way to experience one of the most sublime operas of all time, this concert features Mozart’s immortal music from The Marriage of Figaro transformed into a beguiling work for wind ensemble. ANAM Artistic Director Nick Deutsch will lead this performance and the music will be enhanced by the narration of actor Bethany Simons, whose vivid stage presence will ensure you always know which of Figaro’s many adventures the music is illustrating.
