Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)

It is safe to say that one of the most beloved and most performed works in the comic opera genre is Gioachino Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia. Thus, it cannot be missing from the OPERA repertoire. In the revival of his previous staging, which was originally performed in Szombathely in the summer of 2016 and then at Müpa Budapest, Csaba Káel director, who has already entertained audiences of the OPERA with numerous other productions, places this work in the silent film era, magnifying the humorous situations in a lighter and endlessly witty musical setting. The production also seeks to dust off the centuries-old traditions of performance and to present the opera in its original freshness.
