Der Barbier von Sevilla by Rossini, Do. 05 Sept. 2019, Ab (2019/2019), Unter der Regie von Bepi Morassi, Dirigat Francesco Ivan Ciampa, Marco Paladin, Teatro La Fenice, Venedig, Italien

Venetian director Bepi Morassi’s production fits into this ambience perfectly, attempting to reenact the opera as it must have been seen when it premièred in 1812, over 50 years after this building first opened. Most of those involved are Italian, the costumes are authentic, while the sets behind a false proscenium are simple but effective, evoking Seville through an orange tree and horizon.
