eet Figaro, one of the handiest chaps in town. He’ll carry your bags, he’ll trim your hair. Why, he’ll even arrange your marriage!

Elijah Moshinsky’s handsome production of The Barber of Seville transports Figaro back to the natty 1920s, complete with Buster Keaton stunts and Keystone Kops chases. Meanwhile, Rossini’s music more than keeps up with the action, from the helter-skelter overture to Figaro’s lickety-split 'Largo al factotum'.

Barber is a grand parade of crazy characters, woven into a heart-warming romantic comedy. There is Almaviva, the soft-centred nobleman and Rosina, who falls for him instantly. Then there is hard-hearted Dr Bartolo, who intends to marry Rosina himself. It is going to take some fast talking to sort out this sticky situation. Sounds like a job for Figaro!

Performed in Italian with English surtitles.
Running time: Approximately two hours and fifty minutes including one twenty-minute interval.
