The first play of a comic trilogy (Beaumarchais) that shocked the 18th-century elite is the basis of Rossini’s masterpiece The Barber of Seville. Teeming with action and bursting with unforgettable melodies, this opera is sure to make you break out into laughter. In the whimsical approach of stage director Joan Font and the Spanish troupe Els Comediants, this production cleverly incorporates some circus arts, acrobatics, and pantomime. For the occasion, the Orchestre Métropolitain will reunite with Spanish conductor Pedro Halffter who conducted the OM in Madama Butterfly in 2023.

Premier volet d’une trilogie comique (Beaumarchais) qui a bouleversé les élites du 18e siècle, Le Barbier de Séville est un chef-d’œuvre de Rossini. Pétillant d’action et truffé de mélodies mémorables, c’est un opéra qui vous fera rire aux éclats. Dans une approche fantaisiste du metteur en scène Joan Font et de la troupe espagnole Els Comediants, cette production dose savamment le cirque, l’acrobatie et la pantomime. L’Orchestre Métropolitain retrouvera le chef espagnol Pedro Halffter qui avait assuré la direction de Madama Butterfly en 2023.
