The Marriage of Figaro

By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. With libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte in a new translation by Tony Britten and Nicholas Broadhurst. Transmitted in three parts, this is the story of a sex-mad Eurocrat who's trying to sleep with his servant, his frustrated aristocratic wife and her toy-boy, and a love-child who's forced into marriage with his own mother, not to mention cross-dressing, blackmail and a death-defying leap from a second-floor window.
