Il barbiere di Siviglia
L Òpera Season
ll barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), an opera buffa by Gioachino Rossini, is the much-awaited opera production to celebrate 50 years of Amics de s’Òpera de Maó (Maó’s Friends of the Opera). In two acts, the piece tells the story of the old crank Bartolo, who wants to keep Rosina away from any suitors except one: himself. The archetype of the old world fighting the modern is personified in the Count of Almaviva, with the help of the barber Fígaro. In spite of everything and everyone, love will out in the end, like all opera buffe.
