Capitol Opera Richmond is presenting Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" this coming weekend at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Richmond. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 and Sunday afternoon at 2:00. This production features a talented cast and chamber orchestra, which I have the honor of conducting for this run.
Capitol Opera Richmond President Karine Marshall (who plays the Countess) and Director James Taylor (who plays the Count) stopped by our VPM studios to chat about the iconic work and this local production, which will be sung in English and feature dialogue in place of the recitatives.
Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg Classical Music Host, VPM Music
