Opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini. 170 min (with interval). Music Director: Eri Klas. Sung in Italian. Rossini’s operatic masterpiece "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" ("The Barber of Seville") has been staged all over the world, and even children recognize Figaro’s famous aria, while "Figaro qua, Figaro là and La calunnia è un venticello" have become bywords. The witty Rossini, being not only an outstanding composer but also a brilliant cook, developed the recipe for the opera’s incessant, astounding success. Here it is: take seven bright characters and an intoxicating love intrigue, spice the mixture with humorous dialogues, dress with wonderful melodies and sprinkle virtuosic ensembles on top. Rossini’s masterpiece has been cooked by the Novaya Opera’s Chef, Maestro Eri Klas, accomplished English stage director Elijah Moshinsky and topnotch English designer Anne Tilby, specially invited for the occasion.
