San Francisco Opera presents Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), conducted by Benjamin Manis in a staging by Spanish director Emilio Sagi, a co-production with Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. The opera follows the charismatic Figaro, who helps a pair of young lovers outwit an overbearing guardian, featuring memorable arias including Figaro's Largo al factotum and Rosina's Una voce poco fa. The title role is shared by baritones Joshua Hopkins and Justin Austin, with Maria Kataeva and Hongni Wu as Rosina, Levy Sekgapane and Jack Swanson as Count Almaviva, and Renato Girolami and Patrick Carfizzi as Doctor Bartolo. The June 5 performance at 7:30 p.m. will be livestreamed.
