The truth about the Almaviva clan has been locked in a jewel box for 20 years. But now the secret is out...
We all know about the adventures of Figaro and the Count Almaviva--but what about the Countess? BOC's fall scenes production tells the moving story of Rosina Almaviva, the Countess of Seville. Experience her triumphs and tragedies in this theatrical adaptation by Katherine Drexel, Brooke Larimer and Roxanna Myhrum, which interweaves the dramatic text of Beaumarchais' Figaro trilogy with scenes from operas by Mozart, Rossini, Massenet and more!
