Regina Opera presents Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro”
The Regina Opera, now celebrating its 44th season, has once again proven itself to be one of the finest opera companies in New York. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), in collaboration with his great librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838), wrote The Marriage of Figaro (1786), and it is considered one of opera’s finest comedies. In the 1930s and ’40s, the great basso Ezio Pinza reigned as Figaro at the Metropolitan Opera.
On Nov. 24th, we attended this fine performance with 25 friends at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) on 59th Street and Sixth Avenue in Sunset Park.
