Barber of Seville

Add to my Calendar 24-02-2018 19:30 24-02-2018 21:30 36 Barber of Seville Sung in English, Swansea City Opera present a revival of their hugely successful 2011 production of the Barber of Seville, Rossini’s most famous opera – razor-sharp and full of twists and turns.  From Figaro’s famous entrance aria ‘Largo al factotum’ to the frenzy of the Act I finale, The Barber of Seville makes for a rollicking evening’s entertainment. Swansea City opera is known across the UK for its high, quality and engaging performances of comic opera and this sparkling performance will be no exception.  There will be a pre-performance talk about the opera and production at 6.15pm, given by the Artistic Director of Swansea City Opera, Brendan Wheatley. Designed by Gary McCann with costumes by Gabriella Ingram, directed by Brendan Wheatley and accompanied by the Swansea City Opera orchestra. SWANSEA City Opera’s Barber of Seville is an absolute delight. If you want to give someone their first taste of opera, but find ticket prices and long journeys off putting, not to mention impenetrable plots or arty-farty reworking, then you couldn’t do better than to catch Swansea City Opera….the result was a theatre filled with laughter. Could Rossini have asked for more?-South Devon Journal Palace Theatre, Paignton DD/MM/YYYY
