The Barber of Seville
by Rossini
Written in three weeks,
Rossini’s masterpiece is one of the wittiest and most immediately
appealing comic operas in the repertoire today and as fresh to the ear now as
when it first burst upon it’s Italian audiences in 1816. On first hearing, the utter joy of one
melodic masterpiece flowing into the next is thrilling to any audience. As the plot unfolds and is dramatically told through Rossini’s brilliant musical
structure, it helps us to
understand, in part, the Barber’s special place in the history of
opera.
Opera Brava’s new production brings together both National and International Artists in an exciting and innovative period production which will keep you enthralled and amused throughout the evening. World class singing and tunes that you will go away humming.
