An electrifying cinematic adaptation of Rossini's classic about a quick-witted barber.

Reumert Award-winning director Martin Lyngbo has masterfully orchestrated a critically acclaimed interpretation of Rossini's comedic opera Il barbiere di Siviglia, inspired by silent movies. This rendition serves as an ideal entry point for anyone embarking on their opera journey.

The tale of the cunning Figaro serves as a precursor to Mozart’s equally comedic and whimsical plot in Le nozze di Figaro. In Rossini's opera, the shrewd barber has not yet met his future beloved, Susanna. Instead, he assists his lovestruck friend, Count Almaviva, in liberating the coveted Rosina from the clutches of her avaricious guardian, Don Bartolo.

Martin Lyngbo’s fast-paced slapstick staging highlights the light and cheerful story along with Rossini’s catchy music. Il barbiere di Siviglia received outstanding reviews at its premiere in 2018. The press notably mentioned that: “The idea of translating Rossini’s comedic opera Il barbiere di Siviglia into a silent film is close to genius.”

Theodore Platt from the Royal Danish Opera's soloist ensemble and Dean Murphy alternate in the title role, while the renowned Rossini tenor Sunnyboy Dladla and the critically acclaimed Liam Bonthrone take turns performing as Count Almaviva.

This exhilarating, whirlwind rendition of Il barbiere di Siviglia is musically and visually entertaining for new operagoers as well as seasoned opera buffs who appreciate classics in new guises.

Den Reumert-prisvindende instruktør Martin Lyngbo står bag den anmelderroste, stumfilms-inspirerede fortolkning af Rossinis komiske opera Barberen i Sevilla, der er et oplagt sted at begynde sin operarejse.

Fortællingen om den snu barber er en forløber for Mozarts lige så komiske og finurlige plot i Figaros bryllup. I Rossinis opera har den fiffige Figaro endnu ikke mødt sin udkårne Susanna - han hjælper derimod sin elskovssyge ven Grev Almaviva med at vriste den eftertragtede Rosina ud af hendes griske værge Don Bartolos klamme hænder.

Martin Lyngbos tempofyldte slapstick-iscenesættelse fremhæver den lette og lystige historie med Rossinis iørefaldende musik. Barberen i Sevilla høstede fremragende anmeldelser ved premieren i 2018. Pressen skrev blandt andet, at “idéen om at oversætte Rossinis komiske opera Barberen i Sevilla til stumfilm er tæt på genial.”

Theodore Platt fra Den Kongelige Operas solistensemble og Dean Murphy kan opleves i titelrollen, og grev Almaviva synges alternerende af den store Rossinisanger Sunnyboy Dladla og anmelderroste Liam Bonthrone.

Denne forrygende og hæsblæsende udgave af Barberen i Sevilla er musikalsk og visuelt underholdende for både nye operagæster og garvede operafans, der sætter pris på klassikerne i nye klæder.

Barberen i Sevilla synges på italiensk med danske og engelske overtekster.
