Il Barbiere di Siviglia is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The libretto was based on Pierre Beaumarchais's comedy Le Barbier de Séville (1775). It is said that Rossini wrote the opera in only two weeks. 

Since its premiere at the Teatro Argentina, Rome, in 1816, Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia has proven to be one of the greatest masterpieces, and still holds the spotlights across the major opera houses worldwide. Ludwig van Beethoven once noted that it would be played as long as Italian opera existed, and Giuseppe Verdi in 1898 remarked Rossini's accomplishment directly in a letter, 'For abundance of ideas, comic verve, and truth of declamation, Il Barbiere di Siviglia is the most beautiful opera buffa in existence.' It has found favor with many singers, such as Luciano Pavarotti and Leo Nucci. 

Il Barbiere di Siviglia is a humorous comic opera with dozens of gags and vivid portrait of characters. The story takes place in Seville during the 17th century. Figaro, a clever barber, devises a variety of ways for the young Count Almaviva and the beautiful girl Rosina to meet, talk and ultimately become a wonderful happy couple. 

Rossini is well known for being remarkably productive, and good at portraying character and digging for humanity's origins. His talents are fully displayed in this opera. The world is obsessed with its music which combines sparkling wits with the brilliance of humanity and intertwines lively melodies with complex tempo fluctuations. According to Schopenhauer, it was only when he heard the music of this opera that he really understood the power of music. Many beautiful arias of the opera have made a lasting impression in the mind of the audience. Figaro's aria, Largo Al Factotum, with a good sense of rhythm and real power, has become one of the most familiar melodies to the audience.

《塞维利亚理发师》是根据法国作家博马舍1775年所写的同名剧本而创作的二幕喜歌剧，由意大利歌剧大师罗西尼作曲、斯特比尼作词。据传，这位“歌剧天才”仅用了两周时间就完成了这部喜歌剧中的不朽杰作。
　　《塞维利亚理发师》自1816年在罗马阿根蒂那剧院首次公演之后，便成为享誉世界的传世经典，至今仍在世界各大剧院盛演不衰。许多音乐大师都对它给予了极高的评价，贝多芬曾表示十分欣赏这部歌剧，威尔第也于1898年在信中说道：“我认为《塞维利亚理发师》有着丰富的乐思、诙谐的神韵、雄辩的台词，是一部最美的喜歌剧。”作品还受到诸多歌唱家的青睐，鲁契亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂、里奥·努奇等歌剧大师都曾多次诠释剧中角色。
　　《塞维利亚理发师》剧情诙谐幽默，讲述了一位塞维利亚城中绝顶聪明的理发师，通过施展锦囊妙计最终撮合一段美妙良缘的故事。剧中“笑料”不断，人物形象塑造丰满充盈，到处都充满着喜剧色彩。
　　罗西尼具有无穷的旋律创作才能，精于人物性格的刻画，对于人性的发掘极为深刻。这些超凡的才华在《塞维利亚理发师》中体现的淋漓尽致。全剧的音乐迸发出机智和遐想的火花，处处闪烁着人性的光辉，充溢着欢快的旋律之流，节奏五光十色变化无穷，让人为之向往。全世界都拜倒在罗西尼的脚下。叔本华听到了他的音乐，说他这时才体会到音乐的本质力量。剧中的华彩乐章比比皆是，经典咏叹调更是美艳绝伦。其中理发师费加罗的咏叹调《快给大忙人让路》更是充满速度感与跳跃感，是一段家喻户晓的经典唱段。
