The Marriage of Figaro, Mozart’s greatest comedy. The opera’s beloved characters will come to life through a cast of longtime audience favorites, including UNCSA alum Richard Ollarsaba (The Count). Opera News described Ollarsaba as a “bass‐baritone who didn’t just have the tall‐dark‐and‐handsome bit going for him, but also robust, flavorful, agile vocalism.” Piedmont Opera favorite and UNCSA alum Jodi Burns (The Countess) and Brad Smoak (Figaro), who made his Piedmont Opera debut in last season’s Don Pasquale, will also lead the cast.
