Beyond haircuts and beard trims, this canny barber is the city's matchmaking maestro!
Almaviva is wealthy, stealthy and head over heels. Rosina is witty, pretty and just as smitten. She's also inconveniently betrothed. They need a plan. Time to call on: Fi-ga-ro! Figaro! Figaro!
Enter the friendly neighbourhood barber with wits and tricks as sharp as his razors. He sets to work to unite the young lovers in an evening of disguises and duplicity.
This rollicking, laugh-out-loud comedy took a young Rossini just 13 days to write. Playful energy sparkles through as many famous tunes as you can pack into two-and-a-half hours.
A cast of great voices and high spirits play among a marvellous set of cartoonish proportions - a world inspired by 1920s silent films, featuring a life-size doll's house as its centrepiece.
Celebrated Australian baritone Samuel Dale Johnson returns home to make his Opera Australia debut as the titular barber. Audience favourites John Longmuir and Shanul Sharma share the role of Count Almaviva. Italian mezzo soprano Serena Malfi and Helen Sherman both play Rosina.
