Mozart's Figaro at the Riding Hall: an evening full of spirit, confusion, and musical elegance

The Opera Schloss Maxlrain will present Mozart's comic opera The Marriage of Figaro on July 10, 2026, at 19:30, directed by Andreas Wiedermann and musically conducted by Chariklia Apostolu. On stage will be the choir and orchestra of the Maxlrain opera stage, as well as a soloist ensemble that brings to life the rapid comedy of errors, desires, and class boundaries.

A classic of opera that still excites today
Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro is one of those operas that never feels outdated. The story picks up after the events of The Barber of Seville and unfolds a dense labyrinth of romantic wishes, power plays, and surprising alliances. The opera is structured as a four-act comic opera and thrives on precise dramaturgy, ensembles with high rhythmic tension, and that psychological nuance that makes Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte so unique. Reviews of prominent revivals repeatedly praise the mix of comedy, social sharpness, and musical sophistication. ([oper-maxlrain.de](https://www.oper-maxlrain.de/programm-oper/))
Maxlrain as a stage with a special aura
Maxlrain Castle is situated in a fairy-tale setting, combining historical backdrop with vibrant performance practice. The former riding hall provides the fitting resonating space for an opera that thrives on intimacy, pace, and precise articulation. It is exactly this combination of architecture, acoustics, and summer stage experience that makes the charm of the evening: the music breathes, the characters come alive, and the audience's reaction occurs right in the midst of the action.

Andreas Wiedermann directs, and Chariklia Apostolu is responsible for the musical direction. In Maxlrain, experienced opera practice meets passionate musical theater.
