Malmö Opera almost never hires Swedish singers in leading roles, but instead seeks out the international market. In the new set of Rossini's Barber in Seville , we meet a Figaro from Lithuania, an Almaviva from South Africa, a Rosina from Germany, a Bartolo from Italy and a Basilio from Greece. The Swedish colors are defended by the young Elin Eriksson in the small role as Berta (and she does well).
