“The Barber of Seville” is the best opera by Gioachino Rossini, the last great example of the Italian comic opera buffa, and the favourite composition of all time (its première was held in Rome more than 200 years ago).

The opera is based on the play by the famous writer Pierre Beaumarchais, an attractive, witty, musically gifted Frenchman. The play evoked the delight of the royal court, although the central figure of the plot was a simple servant, Figaro by name — clever, mocking, persistent, enterprising, inexhaustible in scheming and unravelling other people’s schemes, never at a loss or discouraged, and always able to find a way out of any situation.

It was probably Gioachino Rossini — the “divine maestro”, “the sun of Italy” — who created the best opera on the basis of this play. It is full of funny comic tricks, unexpected plot twists, hilarious impersonations, and the atmosphere of wit, youth and love persists throughout the performance.

The music of the great Italian composer cannot but delight the audience — it is inventive, temperamental, light and elegant.
