Nikolaus Habjan's ionic puppets conquer the stage! In his acclaimed production from Theater Basel, everyone is drawn into the fast-paced, funny and sometimes darkly absurd confusion surrounding the barber Figaro. Nobody can escape the puppets – until the cheerful happy ending. A highly entertaining opera evening suited for families, as well as for a fun evening out with friends.
