Figaro

A Noise Within
3352 E Foothill Blvd Pasadena

This production of Figaro marks A Noise Within's inaugural collaboration with LA Opera as part of Figaro Unbound: Culture, Power and Revolution at Play. The lasting legacy of French playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais' (1732-1799) plays about the free thinking barber, one of the most glorious and influential of fictional creations, will be investigated in this three-month-long exploration of the revolutionary spirit organized by L.A. Opera.

"...Joshua Wolf Coleman's triple-role expertise and Natalie De Luna's dizzy Fanchette complete an ensemble that knows just how far to push for laughs and gets them, resulting in a knee-slapping blast."

"...Chock full of fun A Noise Within's production of "Figaro" is a fast-paced, colorful and witty romp in the finest French farce tradition. Freely adapted by Charles Morey from Beaumarchais' "The Marriage of Figaro," this west coast premiere keeps true to the original, but with a modern sensibility that emphasizes the timelessness of its themes."

"...Some may find Michael Michetti's direction and this often frenetically paced two-acter to be witty, with dazzling word play, expertly acted and roguishly charming. Others may consider it to be half-witty, broad, loud and over the top."
