Gioachino Rossini. “Barber of Seville”
Opera in two acts
Performance of The St. Peterburg Chamber Opera
Premiered on March 7th 2015
Running time: 2.45 h

One of the most popular opera of Rossini, which captivates audience already for two centuries with inexhaustible wit, melodic generosity and virtuoso brilliance of vocal parts. The rapid dynamic of the stage action, the abundance of comic positions, the plot, replete with unexpected twists, seem to have been snatched from life itself. Count Almaviva has lost his heart to the spunky Rosina, whose doddering guardian is determined to marry her himself. It’s Figaro to the rescue, as the resourceful barber conjures up wacky schemes and strategies to unite the young lovers.

The performance of the St. Petersburg Chamber Opera will take place instead of the Croatian National Theatre’s performance The Magic Flute. Tickets purchased for Wednesday’s performance will be valid on the same day of the week or will be redeemed until 11 July (inclusive).
