Rossinis work The Barber of Seville, the most famous Italian comic opera, returns to the Greek National Opera in Francesco Micheli's subversive production which was first presented with great success during last years artistic period. The Greek National Opera production, which was also staged with great success last winter by the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, brings Figaro's tale into the digital age, and sheds light on Rosinas world which lies somewhere between dream and reality.
The work needs no introductions. The lively, witty and particularly melodic music goes perfectly with a series of comic scenes as the barber Figaro helps the Conte de Almaviva marry the lovely Rosina, who lives with her aged protector Doctor Bartolo, who intends to marry her himself.
A production featuring an entirely Greek cast, aimed at young and old alike, which is ideal for opera beginners.
