Based on the play of the same name by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, The Barber of Seville introduces us to Figaro, the titular barber bursting with bravado. He's enlisted by the lovelorn Count Almaviva to win the heart of the clever and comely Rosina. Rossini's masterful, laugh-out-loud comedy (the prequel to The Marriage of Figaro) is packed with rapid-fire punchlines and toe-tapping melodies--from one of the world's most famous overtures to the instantly recognizable "Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!" of "Largo al factotum." With whimsy, wit, and plenty of woo, The Barber of Seville reminds us that, as Beaumarchais once said, "Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough."
