THE MET LIVE IN HD: IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA

Saturday, May 31, 10:00 am

Gioachino Rossini’s effervescent comedy retakes the stage in Bartlett Sher’s madcap production. Mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina headlines a winning ensemble as the feisty heroine, Rosina, alongside high-flying tenor Jack Swanson, in his Met debut, as her secret beloved, Count Almaviva.

Baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky stars as Figaro, the titular barber of Seville, with bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as Dr. Bartolo and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Don Basilio rounding out the principal cast. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts.

 

Composer: Gioachino Rossini. Librettist: Cesare Sterbini, based on the play by Pierre Beaumarchais.

Approximate Runtime: 3 hrs, 33 min (1 intermission)
