Barber by day, matchmaker by night, Figaro puts his wiles to work as he aids the Count in wooing the beautiful Rosina. She’s such a catch that her sleazy guardian keeps her under lock and key with the intent of marrying her himself. But no challenge is too great for Figaro’s trickery. And, with laughter at every turn, the cunning Rosina is no slouch at manipulating things herself!  Beaumarchais' story is a prequel to "The Marriage of Figaro" and this riotous musical comedy sets the stage perfectly for the more complicated matters to come and is one of the most popular in the operatic repertoire.

Angelina, jilted by her lover Edwin, has taken him to court for breach of promise.  The jury has been coached by the Court to side with her, in order to be "fair and impartial."  Edwin, the defendant, offers every legal argument he can, including an offer to marry both Angelina and his new lover.  The judge, who has reached his high office by marrying a rich attorney's daughter, doesn't know the difference between "bigamy" and "burglaree."  Who will win this high-stakes trial of love?  And will the Usher ever be successful in getting "Silence in court?"  Come see Trial by Jury and find out!
