Young love hinges on mischievous matchmaking! Sir Thomas Allen's joyous production of The Barber of Seville is back on Scottish stages, opening in Glasgow an...

Back by popular demand, Sir Thomas Allen (The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni) creates a riotous production of Rossini’s beloved comedy. The action centres around Figaro, one of opera’s most delightful characters and perhaps the only voice of reason in a world of young love and ageing folly. When Count Almaviva sets his sights on the beautiful Rosina, he enlists Figaro – barber, fixer, and all-round man of action – to help woo her. It is no easy feat: Rosina’s guardian Doctor Bartolo keeps her under lock and key with the intention of marrying her himself!

The multiplying disguises, comic hijinks, and daring escapes engineered by Figaro are enhanced by Simon Higlett’s enchanting designs, bright with Spanish colours. This revival is sung in English in a translation by Amanda Holden (Falstaff 2021) for a fresh and immediate spin on Rossini’s larger-than-life characters and antics.

With Rossini’s signature toe-tapping ensembles, high-speed patter, and lively coloratura arias, this bel canto masterpiece is a joyful theatrical experience packing in one comic scene after another. Here, Scottish Opera unites Samuel Dale Johnson (Eugene Onegin and Pagliacci 2018) as the titular barber, with Anthony Gregory (Anthropocene 2019) and Simone McIntosh (in her Scottish Opera debut) as the young lovers. Rounding out the other side of the scheming are David Stout (Nixon in China 2020) and Dingle Yandell (Thérèse 2022).
