The Barber of Seville
By Gioachino Rossini

“Love can be a zany affair. Especially in the hands of Rossini!
Let’s see if we can get this straight. The lovely, young Rosina is the ward of Dr. Bartolo, a comic old geezer who wants to marry her, but she’d rather marry Count Almaviva, who really wants to marry her too, but he can’t even see her because Bartolo’s always there, so what’s a guy to do?
Easy. Just ask the Barber!
Add a healthy dose of the most spirited music ever written, sprinkle in a few disguises … and voila! Girl gets boy. Boy gets girl. And everyone lives happily ever after.
No wonder it’s one of the most popular operas ever written!” --Portland Opera
Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
Performances held at the Keller Auditorium. www.portlandopera.org
