Overview

Live performance from Schwetzinger Festspiele, 1988. What sets this IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA apart from all others available is its elegant realism. None of its visuals are the least bit cartoonish or blatantly designed for comedy. Dr. Bartolo’s house is a stark, stern-looking structure of plastered brick with a comfortable yet plain, white-curtained interior, while the costumes are highly realistic 18th century garb in subdued colors. Yet despite its fairly austere appearance the production is delightful, thanks to its performers and staging. The stage business is lively, witty and free of excessive slapstick, and every singer brings his or her character to life, all offering rich, vibrant characterizations that strike a perfect balance between comedy and humanity.

Il Barbiere di Siviglia

Taglines

Overview

Il barbiere di Siviglia è un'opera buffa di Gioachino Rossini, in due atti, su libretto di Cesare Sterbini, tratto dalla commedia omonima francese di Pierre Beaumarchais del 1775.

L'opera fu commissionata a Rossini da Francesco Sforza Cesarini, impresario del teatro di patrocinio della sua famiglia, l'attuale Teatro Argentina, fatto erigere nel 1732 da suo nonno Giuseppe Sforza. Nel dicembre del 1815, Francesco Sforza Cesarini si accordò con l'allora venticinquenne Gioacchino Rossini perché scrivesse un'opera musicale di carattere gioioso e scherzoso che dovesse rappresentarsi al successivo carnevale 1816, ma egli morì d'infarto il 16 febbraio 1816, pochi giorni prima della "prima". La rappresentazione de Il barbiere, comunque, si tenne lo stesso.
