Libretto

Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)

---

Rossini's comic masterpiece was based on Pierre-Agustin Caron de Beaumarchais's French play Le Barbier de Seville and is the ultimate opera buffa. The score is a compendium of the composer's wittiest and most brilliant writing, and includes the famous entrance aria Largo al factotum and a raft of superbly dynamic ensembles. This vibrant and youthful production features Florian Sempey, one of the world's best Figaros, the 'Rossini tenor' Michelle Angelini, vivacious and critically admired Catherine Trottmann, and the award-winning team of acclaimed director Laurent Pelly and conductor Jeremie Rhorer who directs his spirited period ensemble Le Cercle de l'Harmonie.
