Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Gioachino Rossini's opera buffa live at the Opéra Bastille, Paris on February 2, 2016
2016-02-02 | 135 minutes
Plot Summary
The composer's opera buffa transcends the spirit of Beaumarchais’ comedy and combines the absurd with a touch of satirical realism in a score where rhythm and virtuosity place the comic effects in an ongoing dramatic narration. As a result, the characters – Rosina in particular – gain a new degree of realism and break with the usual archetypes. Damiano Michieletto’s giddying production embraces this perpetual motion and carries in its wake the happy couple formed by Lawrence Brownlee and Pretty Yende.
