OSB Cruises Through ‘Figaro’

Opera Santa Barbara’s latest production of Mozart’s classic work The Marriage of Figaro turned into the Love Boat when head honcho Kostis Protopapas and director Sara E. Widzer, set the location on the ocean liner SS Seville on the Mediterranean in the 1930s.

The two-hour 40-minute Lobero show, with set and projection design by Yuki Izumihara, was quite sensational, with a stellar cast including Colin Ramsey as the principal character, Adrien Roberts as the Countess Almaviva, Matthew Peterson as her husband, Sunwoo Park as Susanna, and Max Potter as a delightful Cherubino.

I can’t wait for the next cruise!
