Il barbiere di Siviglia: Oviedo Opera
About the Event
Oviedo Opera presents undoubtedly the most famous opera buffa in the history of music and an eternal source of delight.
Rossini's comedy is as funny as it is beautiful. The disguises and lies all piling on top of one another, resulting in some of the most entertaining music and stage business in opera.
Rossini composed it in just a few weeks, borrowing the overture and even some arias from his own serious and comic works. All of the remarkable ensembles, however, are original. In the finale of the first act, Rossini combines multiple styles and interlinks duos, trios, quintets and sextets with stupefying virtuosity.
