A new production
of the greatest opera buffa directed by Josef E. Köpplinger, a promising new star
in operatic circles
A spicy love story driven by the shrewd and cunning
![handbill [Il Barbiere di Siviglia]](../../../season/s276/images/bill276.jpg)
The performance promises to be entertaining in every sense
of the word.
An extremely cheerful love comedy that is entertaining in every sense of the word
Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) is the most popular of
Rossini's operas and one of the greatest masterpieces in opera buffa. This comedy
unfolds at a delightful tempo to buoyant music replete with a sense of speed.
Familiar numbers, including the beautiful overture often included in concert programs,
"Largo al factotum (Make way for the factotum)" in which Figaro talks
boastfully in a fast voice, and "Una voce poco fa (The voice I heard a while
ago)," Rosina's aria, which includes many coloratura passages, will be heard
in succession. The performance promises to be entertaining in every sense of the
word.
A love story that cannot be told without money and looks
The director is Josef E. Köpplinger, a promising new star, who is recommended
by all European directors. Artistic director for the drama division of the St.
Gallen Opera in Switzerland, which has produced many high-profile directors, Köpplinger,
a gifted director, will portray this sidesplitting love comedy as a spicy love
story driven by the shrewd and cunning. Please look forward to Rossini's refined,
exhilarating music by the conductor Nir Kabaretti, who excels in Italian opera,
and young singers who have all shown remarkably rapid progress, including Rinat
Shaham, who has made her sensational debut at the world's best opera houses and
is attracting much public attention, Ferdinand von Bothmer, and Daniel Belcher.
Synopsis
The setting is Seville, Spain
under the Franco regime. Count Almaviva, a young dandy, falls in love at first
sight with Rosina, the most beautiful girl in town. But he cannot easily approach
her because her guardian, Dr. Bartolo, who is infatuated with her for her wealth,
interferes with his courtship. So he seeks Figaro's help. Figaro is a barber and
general factotum, who, if paid, undertakes everything from hairdressing to consultation
about others' personal affairs, to acting as an intermediary for lovers, and as
a hired scribe. The count tries every trick to sneak into Dr. Bartolo's house
and successfully conveys his feelings to Rosina but gives rise to great confusion.
Thanks to Figaro's quick wit, he manages to ride out a crisis, and after much
ado, the opera comes to a happy ending.
