Change your students’ lives forever by giving them the total opera
experience. They will be dazzled by the powerful music, the wonderful
artists, orchestra, sets, costumes and the beautiful theater itself.
Rossini’s Barber of Seville is one of opera’s all time crowd-pleasers. From
the unmistakable overture to Figaro’s famous “Largo al Factorum,” this
delightful farce uses outrageous scheming, hilarious disguises and vocal
virtuosity to tell the tale of the clever barber Figaro as he helps Count
Almaviva outwit Dr. Bartolo and win the hand of the lovely Rosina...
