Those three stars are a midway compromise: Scottish Opera's new Figaro is great on stage, shoddy in the pit. Maybe the dichotomy's apt for an opera about the foibles of above/below stairs relations - certainly conductor Francesco Corti seemed happy for singers and orchestra to have little to do with each other.
