CHICAGO—A revival of the Lyric Opera of Chicago’s 2015 production of “The Marriage of Figaro,” now back at the Lyric, is every bit as triumphant as it was the first time. That’s because Barbara Gaines, the founder and former artistic director of the Chicago Shakespeare Theater who staged the premiere production, has now returned to helm the revival. The second time around may even better than it was before.
