The opera of operas! A piece that unites composers, soloists, playwrights, music experts, and the audience in a hymn of praise. A king’s ransom to those who can recount the plot of The Marriage without hesitation. Among all the outfit changes, substitutions, window jumping, and wonderfully found children, one may struggle to catch a breath… or the gist of it all. But when the librettist's mind deviates too far from the trail (then again, who looks for reason in a love story?), Mozart and his music come to the rescue.

The Marriage is like a lens that reflects the era in which the piece was created. The changes of that time can be seen in the character of a witty servant, who triumphs over his master. Heroines, skilfully outlined by the librettist, outgrow the stereotypes of an enamoured silly goose or an abandoned woman in her prime: feisty Susanna, bold yet musically melancholic Countess, Barbarina who draws from Susanna, and Marcellina, who stands up for what she believes in. Every character in this story is distinctive.
