Based around the delightfully cunning barber called Figaro, Rossini’s much-loved comic opera boasts some of the most entertaining and well-known arias in the opera repertoire. From trickery and disguises to serenading in the moonlight, Il Barbiere di Siviglia is filled with liveliness and comedy at every twist and turn. Sung in Italian with English supertitles. Ellen Douglas Schlaefer directs Opera at USC. Neil Casey conducts the orchestra.
