Il Barbiere di Siviglia - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Comic opera in two acts
Text by Cesare Sterbini
after Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais

Synopsis:
The Count of Almaviva is in love with Rosina, and Rosina loves the Count of Almaviva.
Everything would be wonderful – were it not for Don Bartolo, Rosina's guardian, who never lets her leave the house or out of his sight. He wants to marry Rosina himself and can rely on the support of the music teacher Don Basilio, who provides him with information about his rival. The Count's dedicated assistant is the title character: Figaro, Barber of Seville and the Count's former servant. His many good pieces of advice result, above all, in hilariously comic stage scenes and at least do not prevent the two lovers from finding each other in the end.
