SUMMARY:Il barbiere di Siviglia
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The wealthy Count Almaviva has won the heart of the beautiful R
 osina under the pseudonym 'Lindoro'. But Rosina’s jealous guardian Dr Ba
 rtolo wishes to marry his ward himself and so tries to keep her suitors aw
 ay. Fortunately\, 'Lindoro' is helped by the cunning barber Figaro\, who 
 – more or less ingeniously – weaves a web of entanglements and masquer
 ades.\n\nThe 23-year-old Rossini composed 'Il barbiere di Siviglia' in jus
 t three weeks. Witty\, fiery and vibrant\, it is a masterpiece of Italian 
 opera buffa\, in which\, as is so often the case\, the old man in disguise
  hoodwinks everyone. Rossini was inspired by the 1772 play 'La Précaution
  inutile ou le Barbier de Séville' by the French poet\, secret agent and 
 arms smuggler Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais\, which tells the back
 story of Mozart’s 'Le nozze di Figaro'. Rossini’s humorously drawn cha
 racters\, the brilliant solo parts\, rousing melodies and fast-paced ensem
 bles fully unfold in Ruth Berghaus’s timeless production from 1968 (with
  young Achim Freyer’s innovatively simple stage design). Bursting with l
 ife and situation comedy\, it has lost nothing of its youthful freshness a
 nd vitality after over 350 performances.
