Fee-garo! Fee-garo! Fee-garo! Yep, that one.
Lyric Opera’s 2024–2025 season continues with Rossini’s catchiest opera comedy returning to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts!
The Barber of Seville follows hopeless romantic Count Almaviva through a plot that unfolds like an operatic obstacle course. With the help of Figaro, a former servant turned barber, Almaviva attempts to run off with his true love, Rosina, before her soon-to-be forced marriage to the scheming Dr. Bartolo. What starts as a simple plan becomes an elaborate comedy of errors with as many twists and turns as there are laughs. Rossini complements the romantic antics with iconic songs stacked like an “Opera’s Greatest Hits” playlist full of melodies so beguiling they’ve found their way into every area of pop culture imaginable. Even first-time operagoers will spend the night exclaiming, “Hey, that’s that one song from that one thing!”
