The Barber of Seville at Teatro Aurora
Florence, Teatro Aurora — Main Hall
About the Event
Count Almaviva has fallen in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, and comes to serenade her. He pretends to be the poor student 'Lindoro' so that she will not be influenced by his title. Figaro, formerly the Count's servant and now a barber in Seville, declares that he can get Almaviva into the house, disguised as a soldier seeking lodging.
Rosina is determined to marry her suitor, Lindoro. Bartolo tells Rosina’s music teacher, Don Basilio, of his suspicions that Count Almaviva is in town and in love with Rosina. Basilio suggests that they spread malicious rumors about the Count. The Count arrives in his soldier's disguise, only to discover that Dr. Bartolo is exempt from housing the military.
Count Almaviva enters Bartolo’s house again, this time disguised as Don Alonso, a music teacher. He says that Basilio is ill and has sent him to give Rosina’s music lesson in his place.
When Figaro and Almaviva arrive to escape with Rosina, Bartolo arrives too late and with no choice remaining, he blesses the marriage and everyone wishes the couple love and eternal fidelity.
