The Barber of Seville // Illustration: © Daria Petrilli - Licensee Chiara Roilo
Rom-com, Italian style.
Music by Gioachino Rossini
Libretto by Cesare Sterbini
Supreme silliness ensues when Figaro, Seville’s most beloved barber, plays matchmaker for his former employer, Count Almaviva. The Count loves Rosina, but she’s the ward of the devious Doctor Bartolo, who has designs on wedding her himself. To win Rosina’s heart, the Count enlists Figaro to cook up disguises, double dealings, and deceits to fool old Bartolo and set Rosina free. Rossini’s beloved comedy reminds us that sometimes, on the path to true love, the last thing you want to be is yourself.
Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
