NEW YORK (AP) — Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo sings Figaro, Susanna, the Count, Countess, Cherubino, Antonio and Barbarina in Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” at New York’s Little Island, stretching his voice 3 1/2 octaves. The 18-performance run, a highlight of Little Island’s first season, started Friday at the 700-seat amphitheater built in Manhattan above the Hudson River and extends through Sept. 22. Costanzo’s concept developed after “Only an Octave Apart,” his concert performance with Justin Vivian Bond that reopened Brooklyn’s St. Ann’s Warehouse in 2021 following the pandemic closure and then went on tour.
