Rossini’s ever-popular opera The Barber of Seville is coming to the Lichfield Garrick.
Swansea City Opera will transport theatre-goers to Seville in the late 18th Century where a young Spanish nobleman, Count Almaviva, is in love with the beautiful and rich Rosina, ward of the lecherous Doctor Bartolo, who plans his own marriage to her.
But when the meddling Figaro – the town barber – appears, the scene is set for confusion and mayhem.
A spokesperson for the show said:
“Beautifully staged in English, with charming traditional 18th century costumes and performed by some of the finest singers and orchestral players in the country, The Barber of Seville makes for a rollicking evening’s entertainment, full of theatrical wit and humour.”
The opera includes the famous arias Largo al factotum sung by Figaro and Una voce poco fa sung by Rosina.
The Barber of Seville is at the Lichfield Garrick on May 28 at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced £19.75, are available by calling the box office on 01543 412121 or visiting www.lichfieldgarrick.com.
