Description

A man is adept at shaving beards and combing hair, as well as playing the guitar and writing love letters. Who is he? Figaro, of course, the dashing hero of The Barber of Seville, which sprang from the fertile imagination of Beaumarchais before becoming Gioacchino Rossini's most famous opera, premiered at the Teatro Argentina in Rome in 1816 when he was just 24 years old.

The composer may have toned down the social satire in favour of good-natured fantasy, yet he imbued this comedy with a musical effervescence manifest in irresistible arias ("Largo al factotum", "Una voce poco fa"...) and brilliant orchestral writing.

Damiano Michieletto places Rossini's rhythm at the heart of his staging: the action revolves around a huge, colourful building, progressively transformed as the opera progresses.
