The Barber of Seville Plays at Hudson Village Theatre, March 26 & 27

Hudson Village Theatre presents The Barber of Seville on March 26 and 27, 2011. The show runs 2 hours and 45 minutes. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online.

"This sparkling production of Rossini's delightful comedy is led by two of today's greatest opera stars - María Bayo as the young ward Rosina and Juan Diego Flórez as her handsome suitor, Count Almaviva.  The wily Figaro (the Barber) is Pietro Spagnoli, Bruno Practicò is the hapless guardian Don Bartolo, and the cunning singing teacher Basilio is the renowned Ruggero Raimondi. Beautifully staged by Emilio Sagi, the Teatro Real production is a visual delight, from its opening moments of silver and white elegance to its closing explosion of boisterous colour. The Orquesta Titular del Teatro Real Madrid, conducted by Gianluigi Gelmetti, plays Rossini's glittering score with flair and grace, while star performances from Bayo and Flórez lift the production into the breathtaking realm of the extraordinary."

The Hudson Village Theatre was founded in 1993, as a professional English language performing arts venue and theatre company offering a diverse selection of year-round programs that, through excellence, aim to inspire, enlighten and entertain.  It is housed in Hudson's historic train station in the heart of this delightful village located on the south shore of the Lake of Two Mountains.
