The Barber from Sevilla

A teaching play about intrigues, lies and love: Rossini's comical opera is staged at the State Opera Hannover until 19 April 2013.

Gioachino Rossini's comical opera is, based on the same-named play from Beaumarchais, a teaching play about intrigues, lies and the ordinary love-chaos. "The Barber from Sevilla" is performed at the State Opera Hannover until 24 November 2012. In 2013, the opera is staged from 6 January to 19 April.

About:
Count Almaviva alias Lindoro tries to get into the house of his mistress Rosina — incognito. Rosina also likes Lindoro, but only Figaro can clear the way to Lindoro, as Figaro also fancies Rosina — to make the confusion perfect, her legal guardian Bartolo lurks around day by day...
