Il Barbiere di Siviglia
IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA; Gioacchino Rossini, 1816. The capers of a horny young nobleman in pursuit of an (apparently) unattainable beauty, with the assistance of Seville’s most in-demand barber. A racy and fluent reading of this comedy classic, in broadly contemporary language designed to reproduce the wit and sparkle of the original libretto.
