The Metropolitan Opera: Il Barbiere Di Siviglia
9 Herschell Street, Napier
Rossini’s effervescent comedy takes the stage in Bartlett Sher’s madcap production at the Metropolitan Opera.
Rossini’s perfectly honed treasure survived a famously disastrous opening night (caused by factions and local politics more than any reaction to the work itself) to become what may be the world’s most popular comic opera. Its buoyant good humor and elegant melodies have delighted the diverse tastes of every generation for two centuries, and several of the opera’s most recognizable tunes have entered the world’s musical unconscious, most notably the introductory patter song of the swaggering Figaro, the titular barber of Seville.
