An opera buffa, a comedy, a masterpiece of intrigues, lies and love! ll Barbiere di Siviglia , an opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, from the Teatro Regio di Parma. The production stars Dmitry Korchak as ll Conte d'Almaviva, Ketevan Kemoklidze as Rosina, Luca Salsi as Figaro and Giovanni FurIanetto as Don BasiIio. The aging Doctor Bartolo longs to marry Rosina, his beautifuI and weaIthy aid of the energetic and enterprising barber Figaro, the Count succeeds in gaining entry to BartoIo's house disguised first as a soIdier then as a music teacher. When BartoIo becomes suspicious, he quickIy summons the notary to set the seaI on his marriage to Rosina. But Figaro and AImaviva are already one step ahead and the marriage contract is signed by the Count, who at last reveaIs his true identity. BartoIo receives generous compensation, however: the Count waives the dowry that Bartolo ought otherwise to have paid as Rosina's guardian - aIthough he is made to share the sum with Figaro. All's welI that ends weII? We catch up on the couple's subsequent marriage problems in the second part of Beaumarchais' Figaro trilogy, La foIIe journee ou le Mariage de Figaro/ One Mad Day or The Marriage of Figaro, which Mozart set to music in 1786 under the titIe Le nozze di Figaro. |
