Le Nozze di Figaro (Figaro'nun Düğünü) - Ankara DOB

About this event

Ankara State Opera and Ballet (Ankara Devlet Opera ve Balesi) stages Le Nozze di Figaro (Figaro'nun Düğünü), Mozart's comic opera, at the Opera Sahnesi, the city's historic opera house on Atatürk Bulvarı in Ulus. The performance on 11 November 2026 starts at 20:00, and the company's programme lists further performances of the production on 16 and 30 November and on 5, 7 and 28 December 2026. The story follows Count Almaviva, whose love for his wife Rosina has faded over the years and who now pursues Susanna, the Countess's maid, just as she is about to marry his valet Figaro. To block the wedding, the Count enlists the scheming music teacher Basilio and Marcellina, who holds a document in which Figaro promised to marry her if he could not repay a loan. Disguises, a page hidden in the Countess's room and a night-time meeting in the castle garden follow before the intrigues are unravelled. The original opera is in four acts; the company notes that this Ankara production presents it in two parts. The production credits list conductors Alessandro Cedrone and Rustam Rahmedov, stage director Aleksandar Nikolic, set designer Mustafa Mahdum and costume designer Gökçe Şener. The Opera Sahnesi building was designed by Şevki Balmumcu as an exhibition hall after a 1933 competition and later converted into an opera house by Paul Bonatz, opening in that role on 2 April 1948. Tickets are sold through Biletinial, linked from the Devlet Opera ve Balesi website, and the company publishes a box office line on 0312 780 34 90.
