The name Figaro may sound familiar. Figaro is repeated continuously in a speedy manner to enhance emotion. If so, it was probably on Looney Tunes when you were a kid.

Besides Looney Tunes, Figaro comes from the opera “The Marriage of Figaro” composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

“The Marriage of Figaro” will be performed at Kobacker Hall this weekend.

“It’s the greatest opera,” Emily Freeman Brown, director of orchestral activities, said. “It’s got a lot of humor and the greatest music in it.”

Brown will conduct the opera and the University’s philharmonia will be orchestrating. The cast is entirely composed of opera singers who are all music majors. “It’s a collaborative talent of singers and performers,” Brown said.

They will be performing in an array of hilarity. The story is conformed in the “element of deception,” Brown said.

“The Marriage of Figaro” is a love story about an older couple and a younger couple. Throughout the story, there are complications in the relationships. “Love wins out in the end,” Brown said.

The opera was specifically chosen for family weekend because of the humorous entertainment it will convey.

Brown said the opera is perfect for all ages and entertain newcomers who have not ever heard of it.

Since this opera was chosen for family weekend, the performances will be on Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are available through the Moore Musical Arts Center box office at 419-372-8171 and before the perfor mance begins.

Brown encourages people to come and enjoy themselves at the concert. “It’s a tremendous amount of fun,” she said.
