The Barber of Seville, the ultimate comic opera composed by Rossini at the age of just 24, remains one of the masterpieces of bel canto. The composer\u2019s melodic genius elevates the story from Beaumarchais\u2019 popular Figaro Trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beautiful Rosina lives under the strict supervision of her guardian, Don Bartolo, who plans to marry her once she comes of age. However, the young woman falls in love with Count Almaviva, who, disguised as the poor student Lindoro, seeks to win her heart with the help of the clever barber Figaro. Figaro\u2019s inventive schemes break all records in his efforts to get the Count into Bartolo\u2019s house to see his beloved. Things become complicated as passions intensify and the desires of the main characters clash, but in the end, love triumphs, just as Rossini\u2019s delightful music does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharp-witted and subversive, the great Vassilis Papavasiliou directs, in collaboration with Nikoleta Filosoglou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
