TRAILER | IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA Rossini - Royal Swedish Opera

A young count is in love with a clever woman who returns his feelings. But her guardian harbours his own plans for her. When jack-of-all-trades Figaro rushes to the young couple's aid, bribery, deceit and comic entanglements ensue. Will he succeed in saving the day - and love?
One of the greatest operas in the repertoire is back on OperaVision. This new production of Rossini’s comic masterpiece from Royal Swedish Opera is not only a work of sublime farce, but also a story of male friendship, class, the confrontations of generations and a young woman’s struggle for freedom. Inspired by commedia dell’arte and the idea of the house as a place charged with symbolic meaning, director Linus Fellbom, stage designer Julia Przedmojska and costume designer Lena Lindgren explore in depth Il barbiere di Siviglia - and make it sparkle. On stage, you will see singers you have already heard on OperaVision, such as the brilliant bel canto tenor Konu Kim (Count Almaviva) who stood out in Rossini’s William Tell at Irish National Opera and Donizetti’s Zoraida di Granata at Wexford Festival Opera, as well as South African baritone Luthando Qave (Figaro) heard in Purcell’s Indian Queen at Teatro Real Madrid.
Full performance streamed on OperaVision from 30 August 2024 at 19:00 CET to 2 March 2025 at 12:00 CET: operavision.eu...
