× Burnaby Lyric Opera and Shadbolt Centre for the Arts Present

Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)
By Gioachino Rossini
Stage Director:Tayte Mitchell
Music Director:Angus Kellett

Count Almaviva is in love with the young and beautiful Rosina; Rosina is in love with the poor student Lindoro; Rosina’s guardian Dr. Bartolo wants to marry her for her inheritance and has imprisoned her in his house; Don Basilio the music teacher is helping Dr. Bartolo with his treacherous scheme; and Figaro, the town barber, is helping Count Almaviva in his romantic quest, while cleverly manipulating all the players. This brightest star in Gioacchino Rossini’s repertoire is his comic masterpiece filled with romance, deception, mistaken identities and glorious music as only Rossini could write. ”Il barbiere di Siviglia” (The Barber of Seville) has stood the test of time not only as one of the ‘top 20’ operas performed, but it has been famously parodied in Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker and Homer Simpson cartoons and the overture is played in the Beatles film “Help!” See and hear this work of art come alive at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts Studio Theatre. Don’t miss it!
