The Marriage of Figaro in San José

Opera San José opens its production of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro this weekend. Relying on young singers has proved to be a winning formula for this company, especially when they're able to pick up hot talents like Khori Dastoor, who sings Susanna in the first cast, and Daniel Cilli (Almaviva in the second cast).

And that's not to mention the outrageously talented Brian Leerhuber (Figaro in the first cast), an already proven singer. All of these performers bring high energy and commitment to their roles. No one hangs back, and the audience gets their money's worth.
