'The Marriage of Figaro'

Angels and Demons Entertainment, which specializes in semi-staged site-specific work, teams up with the Twin Cities Opera Guild to produce Mozart's class-conscious masterwork at the James J. Hill House. Each of the four acts take place in a different room at the brownstone mansion. The cast includes talented theater stalwart James Ramlet as well as soprano Tess Altiveros and baritone Gabriel Preisser as the title character. Each performance will be intimate, maxed out at 35 people. The pricey show ends with Champagne and dessert. (7 p.m. July 9-10, 14-15, James J. Hill House, 240 Summit Av., St Paul. $150. 651-246-6332 or eventbrite.com.)
