Des Moines Metro Opera presents The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Marriage of Figaro has been called one of the greatest operas ever written, by scholars and audiences alike. From its famous overture to the brilliant finales, it combines the elegance and wonder of Mozart's music with a very human comedy of wit and brilliance. It's been just three years since The Barber of Seville came to its happy end, but in the second installment of the Beaumarchais trilogy, things have changed a great deal for Count Almaviva, Figaro and Rosina, now the Countess. One of opera's greatest masterpieces tells a riotous tale of marriage, deception and mistaken identities but ends with the triumph of virtue, love and forgiveness.

The Des Moines Metro Opera presents Macbeth by Guiseppi Verdi.

A chilling tale of witches, prophecies, murder and madness is retold by one of Italian opera's greatest composers. Lady Macbeth wants the throne of Scotland for her husband, so she persuades Macbeth to murder the true king thus making the witches' prophecy come true. Once the deed is done, one of the greatest and most studied tragedies of the stage is set in motion. Verdi creates an opera that is deeply inspired by the Shakespeare he loved, setting the tale to music that matches its chilling power, but surging with a life all its own. The mists and brooding landscape of Scotland are seared with the passion and fire characteristic of Verdi's earliest operas.
