Il barbiere di Siviglia
Live at the Tennessee TheatreFebruary 20 at 7:30pm & February 22 at 2:30pm | Tennessee Theatre
Featuring the iconic “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!” aria that’s become a pop-culture staple, this opera brims with rapid-fire wit, unforgettable music, and comedic twists at every turn. Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia is a riotous romp of disguise, deception, and delight.
Meet Figaro—Seville’s most famous barber and mischief-maker—who’s always one step ahead with a plan (and a punchline). When young Count Almaviva falls for the clever and charming Rosina, it’s up to Figaro to outwit her scheming guardian and make true love triumph. A centerpiece of Knoxville Opera’s Masters of Mischief season, The Barber of Seville proves that a sharp blade and a sharper mind can conquer just about anything.
Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
