The Barber of Seville | Gioachino Rossini

(Il barbiere di Siviglia), Bartlett Sher / USA, 2008
Italian version, Czech and English subtitles, 190 min

Bartlett Sher’s sold-out hit production of The Barber of Seville returns. “The new ‘Barbiere’ is fast, funny, well-sung—even sexy,” said the Associated Press last season. Sher’s production breaks the barrier between the stage and the audience, bringing the singers closer to the audience than ever before. Mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča makes her highly anticipated Met debut as Rosina.
