“I saw the New Jersey Opera Theater (NJOT) performance of 'The Marriage of Figaro' at a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, August 10, in McCarter's Berlind Theater. An exceptional unity and lightness shone through the production. And a sense of ensemble infused both musicians and designers, resulting in a sprightly, effervescent, funny presentation. The emerging artists of NJOT and their savvy design team worked together to create a theater piece that matched the ebullience of Mozart's music. Unleashed imagination and finicky attention to detail were mates in the intimate production. Director
David Grabarkewitz kept the production lively by deploying performers in ever-shifting patterns on stage. During vocal ensembles the singers moved rather than remaining static.”
