Falling for Figaro is a 2021 romantic comedy film written and directed by Ben Lewin, and starring Joanna Lumley, Danielle Macdonald and Hugh Skinner.

American fund manager Millie Cantwell, whose life-long dream is to become an opera singer, quits her lucrative job in London just after being offered a promotion.

Deciding to take a year to make it, she moves away from her boyfriend Charlie and travels to the Scottish Highlands for intense vocal training from former opera diva Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop.

Patricia Hartley from the London conservatory suggests Millie contact the retired diva to train for the annual competition Singer of Renown in hopes of winning a spot in an opera company.

Arriving in the tiny Scottish town, Millie again convinces the pub The Filthy Pig owner Ramsay to give her a room by mentioning a prolonged stay.

They both participate in an Edinburgh recital and a critic highly praises Millie while noting that Max's singing lacks feeling.

Practicing the duet in front of Meghan the next day, she points out the piece would be more effective if they sang it to each other, although it did bring tears to her eyes.

Afterwards, Millie apologises to Max for Charlie's interruption of their rehearsal and asks him not to tell Meghan about her visitor.

It seems to work, as when he returns in a few days to celebrate both of them being accepted to compete in Singer of Renown, they start to fool around, but Millie insists they stop.

Three years later, the now established Max finds his counterpart in Don Giovanni is ill, so Millie is one of his two options.

Casting for Falling for Figaro began on 29 October 2019 with Joanna Lumley and Danielle Macdonald in the lead roles.

[20] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "Undemanding rom-com fans and, to a lesser degree, opera lovers, should take some mild pleasure in Falling for Figaro, although the humor isn't of Gilbert and Sullivan proportions".

[6] Beatrice Loayza of The New York Times admitted that "it's refreshing to see a plus-size woman not only nab the promotion and the hunky guy, but throw it all away within the first 15 minutes.
