Program Notes by Richard Russell

Praised as the “comic opera of all comic operas,” Gioachino Rossini’s Barber of Seville has amusing disguises, vocal fireworks, and melodies familiar to both the seasoned opera lover and the first-timer.

This production, which features full orchestra, soloists and chorus, will be sung in Italian with English supertitles projected above the stage.


"Largo al factotum" from The Barber of Seville - Hermann Prey
