Our production of The Marriage of Figaro opened on 17 June 2026 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington to rave reviews. Here’s a selection of the feedback:


“Figaro dazzles with light, movement and mischief.”

– Max Rashbrooke, THE POST

“Figaro is quality every moment of the way … Music-wise it’s a perfect score, in every sense … This is more than a production; it is a mighty event.“

– Dave Smith, Theatreview

“Packed with theatrical momentum and comic invention … Vivid, generous, and completely entertaining.”

– Regional News 

“Julien Van Mellaerts is wonderfully comic and expressive as the Count ... Felicity Tomkins is a standout as the Countess, her voice both powerful and gorgeously controlled.”

– Regional News 

“What a delightful production: funny, well acted, wonderfully sung. And of course, that magic music. It was a lovely performance.“

– audience member 

“The funniest and most relatable production of Figaro that I have seen.”
