Description
An abundance of fun, and filled with effervescent melodies and inventive orchestrations, The Barber of Seville is absurd, touching, witty, hilarious and irresistible.VO’s inventive new production sets the action on a movie backlot in Seville in the 1940s. Rosina is the starlet, Bartolo is the studio owner (and Rosina’s slimy agent), Almaviva is a star-struck nobleman, and Figaro is the studio hairstylist with a flair for finagling and tomfoolery!
