Masks and An Italian Opera, the UWM Opera Theater and Symphony Orchestra Triumph with "Le Nozze di Figaro"

On April 9th and 10th, 2021, the students in the UWM Opera and Orchestra Symphony performed "Le Nozze di Figaro," a comedic opera originally composed by Wolfgang Mozart. The title translates from Italian to English as "The Marriage of Figaro," and the wonderful performers sung it in the original Italian. This was a four part comic opera that focused on love yet also commented on class structure of the late 1700s. The performers and musicians wore masks during both performances, exemplifying the passion for the craft and perseverance of them all which created this beautiful opera. The event was free and available for virtual streaming.
