IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA

GIOACCHINO ROSSINI (1792-1868)
Opera in two acts
Libretto by Cesare Sterbini based on Le mariage de Figaro of Beaumarchais

The Barber of Seville lays claim to the most famous first-night fiasco in the history of opera.

Created in an incredibly hurried bout of composition, it also had to compete with the enduring popularity among audiences at the time of Paisiello’s Barbiere di Siviglia and live down a number of onstage incidents. Rossini played with the conventions of the opera of his era in this commedia, which met with undeniable success on the second night.
