Producer Diretopropalco Synopsis One of the most celebrated operas of all time, The Barber of Seville, by Gioachino Rossini, is a work where humour, music and virtuosity meet in a comedy of irresistible rhythm. In Seville, the young Count Almaviva is determined to win over Rosina, a cunning and perceptive young woman kept under the strict surveillance of her guardian, Dr. Bartolo. To achieve his goal, the Count relies on the help of Figaro, the city's ingenious barber, whose energy and intelligence will be decisive in overcoming all obstacles. Between disguises, misunderstandings and outlandish schemes, Rossini builds a vibrant story of love and freedom. His famous arias, the brilliant ensembles and the high vocal demands make this piece one of the highest expressions of Italian opera buffa. With a libretto by Cesare Sterbini, based on the comedy by Pierre-Augustin de Beaumarchais, The Barber of Seville premiered in Rome in 1816, quickly becoming one of the greatest successes of the operatic repertoire. More than two centuries later, it continues to surprise, amuse and delight audiences of all ages. In November 2026, this masterpiece arrives in Portugal for three unmissable performances: on 6 November at the Salão Preto e Prata of Casino Estoril; on 7 November at the Centro de Artes de Águeda; and on 8 November at the Coliseu dos Recreios, in Lisbon.
