P.D.Q. Bach: The Abduction of Figaro is a whimsical romp through the operatic world, blending comedy and music in a rather unique way. Directed by the elusive Professor Peter Schickele, it takes cues from Mozart's works and spins them into a lighthearted parody. The pacing is brisk, keeping you entertained with a blend of clever wit and absurdity. The chorus and the Corpse de Ballet lend a surreal atmosphere, while the orchestration brings a playful energy. You can't help but chuckle at the jabs taken at pop culture, from Star Wars to the Maltese Falcon. It’s a delightful exploration of the absurd within the operatic realm, making it stand out among the usual fare.
