About This Show
Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville is one of the most famous operas ever written. This “opera buffa,” or comedic opera, follows the escapades of a barber, Figaro, as he assists Count Almaviva in winning the beautiful Rosina away from her lecherous guardian, Dr. Bartolo, so she can be with her one true love.
The Barber of Seville’s captivating melodies and classic story are what make it a cornerstone of opera today. With famous arias as “Largo al factotum” and “Una voce poco fa,” The Barber of Seville will be appreciated by opera lovers and newcomers alike.
Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 20-minute intermission. Sung in Italian with projected English subtitles.
