The Barber of Seville

The Barber of Seville is Rossini’s comic masterpiece with a musical score that literally bubbles and tingles like a fine champagne." The Barber of Seville sparkles with wit and exhilarating comedy. Led by Figaro, opera’s favorite barber, this hilarious tale of love triumphing against all odds ranks not only as the most popular opera buffa (or comic opera), but also as one of the most popular operas of all time. Rossini’s melodious score is one of the best-known in all of opera, including Figaro’s celebrated "Largo al factotum," Rosina’s "Una voce poco fa" and the duet they have together, "Dunque io son." This new production from Opera Pacific promises to bring out all of the humor and joy of Rossini’s brilliant score. Director A. Scott Parry returns to the company after his triumphant directing debut in Opera Pacific’s 2007 production of The Elixir of Love, and John DeMain conducts.
