Description:
Ballet dancers and opera singers in a Santa Monica Civic Opera performance of Act 3 of “The Marriage of Figaro.” The Count and Countess Almaviva (portrayed by Pryor Bowen and June Moss) sit upstage on two thrones set on a dais. They watch along with Figaro and Susanna (Roderick Risto and Caterina Micieli), who stand at the Countess’ right side, and others as two peasants dance at center.

The peasant men wear coats, breeches, stockings, and cravats. The setting is a hall in Count Almaviva’s palace. Musicians can be viewed in the orchestra pit at foreground.
