ENO - The Barber of Seville

The Barber of Seville, known as Il barbiere di Siviglia in Italian, is an opera in four acts. It features music composed by Gioachino Rossini, and despite a rocky opening night, it has become celebrated as one of the greatest comic operas. The story revolves around the character Figaro, who is central to a trilogy of plays by Beaumarchais.

This production features performances by Matthew Durkan and Andrew Shore. As a classic opera, it holds significant historical and cultural value, making it of interest to collectors focused on music and opera. Its connection to both Rossini and the earlier works of Mozart adds depth to its appeal.
