The opera singer Mattia Olivieri, performing as Figaro, wears a top hat and blue tail jacket. He lifts and affectionately embraces the opera singer Siobhan Stagg who is performing as Susanna in The Royal Opera’s The Marriage of Figaro. Around them, the chorus, who are all wearing servant-style clothing and hold bouquets of flowers, look on excitedly while the soprano Hrachuhí Bassénz, who is performing as Countess Almaviva, sits in a chair wearing a champagne-colour long silk ballgown.

A white woman in an off-the-shoulder, ivory satin gown stands against a dark, smoky background. Her long, wavy hair falls loosely over her shoulders, and she gazes softly forward with a pensive and exhausted expression, illuminated by gentle, diffused light. The air is thick with what looks like battle smoke. The woman represents Elvira in Richard Jones’ production of I Puritani.
