Lyric - The Barber of Seville - Opéra Hors les Murs
Rossini turned Beaumarchais' fine comedy into an irresistible mechanism, and the version for puppets and folk instruments gives the Barber back the colorful hues of fairground theater.

Subtitled "The Useless Precaution", because nothing beats the stratagems of the scheming Figaro - the most astute mastermind since Ulysses! - this unequalled summit of opera buffa is a grenade pulled against egoism and misogyny, and lifts high the triumph of youth and love.
Opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini (sung in Italian, surtitled in French) based on Beaumarchais' "The Barber of Seville".
