Il barbieri di Siviglia, by Gioachino Rossini, is a masterpiece of operatic comedy, telling the story of two lovers who struggle to stay together. In a mixture of disguises, disillusionment, friendship, generational clashes and the fight for freedom, this absolute classic of the operatic canon returns to the Metropolitan Opera, broadcast by Gulbenkian Music, in an unmissable production, staged by Bartlett Sher and starring Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Figaro – the barber who, knowing all the city’s secrets, tries to spread confusion.
