Opera-Buffa in two acts by Gioacchino Rossini Libretto by Cesare Sterbini from the play of Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais Musical direction by Carlo Montanaro Stage direction by Damiano Michieletto
Undoubtedly the most famous opera buffa in the history of music and an eternal source of delight. Rossini composed it in just a few weeks, borrowing the overture and certain airs 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. Il barbiere di Siviglia was also one of the first operatic triumphs in Europe. With this new production of the ever-popular masterpiece, Italian stage director Damiano Michieletto makes his Paris Opera debut.
