The funniest night you can have at the opera
SEMI-STAGED CONCERT

Prepare for an evening of huge laughs with Rossini’s most popular opera, which offers a delightful romp full of farcical frivolity.

Featuring some of opera’s most recognisable music, this madcap masterpiece is a paean to impertinence that will make you beam with joy and grin with delight.

Count Almaviva is hopelessly in love with the beautiful, young Rosina but first he must prise her from the clutches of her guardian, the lecherous Doctor Bartolo. Lucky for them, the flamboyant and cunning town barber Figaro has a few tricks up his sleeve.

One of Italy’s most renowned Rosinas, Chiara Amarù joins a stellar Australian cast including Brenton Spiteri, Warwick Fyfe and José Carbó in his signature role as Figaro.

Join us for this timeless work of comic genius and prodigious musical invention in Melbourne and Launceston, Tasmania.

Don’t miss Rossini at his best with this hilarious night at the opera.

The Barber of Seville by Rossini, From (2019/2019), Directed by Elizabeth Hill,, Conductor Rhydderch Hael, Melbourne Recital Centre, Melbourne, Australia
