Trunch Cinema: Royal Opera House: The Marriage of Figaro

On Friday Sept 13th at 6:30pm in St Botolph’s, Trunch we’ll be screening Mozart’s witty The Marriage of Figaro, opening the Royal Ballet and Opera Cinema Season 2024-25.  David McVicar returns to direct his glorious 2006 production of The Marriage of Figaro at The Royal Opera. Ying Fang makes her long-anticipated Royal Opera debut as Susanna, alongside former Jette Parker Artist Jacquelyn Stucker as the Countess. Conductor Julia Jones leads a largely international cast, including Luca Micheletti as Figaro, Huw Montague Rendall as Count Almaviva, with Ginger Costa-Jackson also making her Royal Opera debut as Cherubino.   Mozart’s beloved score is instantly recognisable, from Figaro's ironic farewell to Cherubino in 'Non più andrai' (You shall go no more), to Cherubino’s lovelorn aria to the Countess, ‘Voi che sapete’ (You who know what love is). The Marriage of Figaro shines with humanity and wit, making it an enduring classic. Lighting by Paule Constable and set design by Tanya McCallin bring all the drama of one day in a chaotic household fully to life.  Please watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97O7SH5kjeg  An optional meal will be available before the screening.  We now have a new sound system and blackout blinds!   We’ll also be launching Hogarth’s, our licensed bar. Every month we’ll be featuring a different artisan gin.   This month’s special is Grapefruit Gin from Vaudville.  To book please visit trunchcinema.com or call 01692 402624.
