Il Barbiere Di Siviglia has all the ingredients for comic chaos: an imprisoned young woman, her lecherous guardian and her young noble suitor. There is also Figaro, irrepressible and inventive as he schemes to get the right couple together and the wrong man well away from his ward.

This revival of Il Barbiere Di Siviglia by the Royal Opera brings together a wonderful cast in a production that is full of action, bright with colour and high on humour. The directors Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier are famous for matching perceptive wit to subtle interpretation and in this famous opera they have not just a funny story and great characters, but ever-popular music too.

Rossini’s verve, lyricism and virtuoso brilliance are at their most exciting in Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, whether in the arias or the great ensembles.

Il Barbiere Di Siviglia is performed in Italian with English surtitles.
