The Handel and Haydn Society is to perform a semi-staged production of “The Marriage of Figaro.”

Raphaël Pichon, founder and artistic director of Pygmalion, will lead the performances on Nov. 17 and 18 at Boston’s Symphony Hall. The H+H Orchestra and Chorus will be joined by soprano Ying Fang as Susanna, soprano Jacquelyn Stucker as Countess Almaviva, bass-baritone Cody Quattlebaum as Count Almaviva, and bass Krzysztof Baczyk as Figaro. James Darrah will stage direct and design the performance.

David Snead, President and CEO of the Handel and Haydn Society said, “There is a reason ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ has been captivating audiences for 236 years – it is an incredible work of genius. We are excited to perform one of the greatest opera’s ever imagined and present it in a way our audience has never heard before, with the energy and style that H+H is known for.

This season the Handel and Haydn Society is set to perform eight programs including one dedicated to Beethoven and a baroque Christmas.
