THE BARBER OF SEVILLE
Gioachino Rossini
The greatest comic opera of them all
OPENS MARCH 17TH, 2012! ► An abundance of fun, and filled with effervescent melodies and inventive orchestrations, The Barber of Seville is absurd, touching, witty, hilarious and irresistible. VO’s inventive new production sets the action on a movie backlot in Seville in the 1940s. Rosina is the starlet, Bartolo is the studio owner (and Rosina’s slimy agent), Almaviva is a star-struck nobleman, and Figaro is the studio hairstylist with a flair for finagling and tomfoolery!
