The witty story development and enjoyable, lyrical vocal performances make this opera Rossini's most popular work. The exhilarating love story unfolds with the action of Figaro eventually making the match between the sheltered Rosina and Il Conte d'Almaviva. The spectacular music includes the famous opening overture that bursts into a Rossini Crescendo, Figaro's "Largo al factotum" ("Make way for the handyman"), in which the barber goes on about his pride, and Rosina's cavatina about love, "Una voce poco fa" ("A voice a while back"), famous for coloraturas. The production by Josef E. Köpplinger is set in Francoist Spain in the late 1960s.The comedy unfolds based on the delicate balance of power and vice, with the pop, kitsch mood of the 1960s expressed through colourful art.

The role of the heroine, Rosina, is performed by Wakizono Ayaーwho has appeared in the role around the world--just as in the 2020 performances. Wakizono brings back the Rosina who amazed and excited the audience at the NNTT at an even greater scale. One of the world's most popular bel canto tenors, Lawrence Brownleeーwho appeared in 2021 in Lucia di Lammermoorーreturns as Il Conte d'Almaviva. And of course, star baritone Roberto de Candia in the role of Figaro and talented Rossini singer Giulio Mastrototaro in the role of Bartolo add to the stunning display of vocal virtuosity.
