Recent Productions
The Marriage of Figaro
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
June 13, 2026
Peterborough Town Hall, Peterborough, NH
Raylynmor's production of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro examined the peril of privilege and power through the prescient libretto of Lorenzo da Ponte and the original work of playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. While the original production is set in Seville, ours was a more neutral setting, a stylized suburban America - something that should more closely resonate with the audience watching it in 2026. Raylynmor's production explored themes of change, tracing the stagnating marriage between Count and Countess Almaviva from its lowest point to its satisfying moment of redemption at the end of the opera.
