MUSIC LIST CLASSICAL
THE CRAZY DAY
The Marriage of Figaro. Scottish Opera. Theatre Royal. Glasgow.
The title ol Mozart's three and a hall houropera was originallythe subtitle ol the Beaumarchais play. “The Crazy Day‘. And crazyitcertainlyis. The energeticplotevolves around Figaro and Susanna'sweddingwithinthe space at one single exhausting. day.
John Byrne‘s setgets another welcome airing in Scottish Opera’s second revival olthissell-out production. An intriguing mix olart nouveau and Moorish inlluences. it conveys beautifullythe changing light astheday wears on whilstatthe same time giving us a clear impression ol how uncomlortablyclosethe lives of the servants andthe masters are entwined inthis house.
The opera isn'treallyahoutFigaro and Susanna’s love at all. It‘s about a larmore serious businesszthe relationship betweenthe Countand Countess. More serious. because it's far less secure. lt'sthe painlul contrast hetweenthetwo relationships which saves the action lrom becoming pure slapstick comedy.
Lynn Binstock‘sthoughtlul direction makes sure olthat. Jason Howard is an utterly adorable Figaro. and Stephen Page‘sarrogantCountshowshimlor the macho bully he is. But the characterisation otSusanna andthe Countess is unusual. Susanna. the
lynchpinoltheentireplot.was submissive ratherthanstrongand schemingzthough Rosa Mannion's singing isajoy. The Countess. pining in lonely neglect. is more aggressive. andlleltJane Leslie MacKenzie was capable oia more moving performanceThatsaid.thoughthere isawonderlulvocal interaction between allthe characters. anda leeling olgenuine companionship.
Despiteashaky startthe orchestra. conducted byJustin Brown and ina raisedpit. gelledtogetherbrilliantly.
Athoroughly enjoyable. lighthearted evening. itlhat's all you want. But it's also gotthedepth. poignancy and genuine emotionto reallyreach out and touch you. (Cate Devine)
