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 aristocrats wear 18th century style attire – coats with deep cuffs, waistcoats (vests), breeches and stockings. The Count and Countess both wear wigs – she with a pompadour hairstyle, he in a powdered wig. Figaro’s bride Susanna wears attire similar to the peasant women who wear full skirts with overskirts tied at the waist, peasant blouses covered with lace-up bodices, and caps covering their hair, but Susanna wears a veil. 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. Performed at Barnum Hall, Santa Monica.
