Rossini's comic opera, with its vocal fireworks, its scheming lovers and its busy barber, is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, bursting with mischief.
When Rosina falls in love with a mysterious young suitor who calls himself Lindoro, she needs all her cunning - and a little help from her local barber - to outwit her calculating guardian, Dr. Bartolo. You can look forward to heart-stopping serenades, silly disguises, and a fairy-tale ending just out of reach. From the Barber's famous opening number, 'Largo al factotum,' with its exclamation of 'Figaro! Figaro!" to Rosina's lively aria, 'Una voce poco fa,' Gioachino Rossini's opera is a hilarious affair. Rafael Payare makes his Royal Opera House debut conducting an outstanding international cast that includes Andrzej Filonczyk, Aigul Akhmetshina, Lawrence Brownlee and Bryn Terfel.
