The Barber of Seville (or Salisbury)

T0708607206
The Barber of Seville has been transported to Jane Austen's England, a world of rich, eligible bachelors, feisty heroines and snobbish relations familiar from much-loved BBC costume dramas. Obsequious Doctor Bartleby has designs on his ward Rosina, but she is far more interested in the attentions of a handsome stranger (actually a womanising Count in disguise). The whole affair is stage-managed by Figaro, the barber who knows everyone's business and can fix your hair and love life with ease.
Author Robin Norton-Hale

Production details

This adaptation is sung in a new English translation which will make the show witty and accessible to modern audiences, while nodding to the style and mannerisms of Regency England. This adaptation offers a fresh take on the original for opera fans and a slick, funny introduction for those who thought opera wasn’t for them. Running time: 2hrs including interval
