Il barbiere di Siviglia

Opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini

Musical Theatre
Marguerre-Saal
Libretto by Cesare Sterbini / in Italian with German supertitles
[recommended for ages 14 and up]

There's nothing for it: count Almaviva wants to win the young Rosina's love. He joins forces with the barber Figaro, an infamous crook who is known throughout the town, and cooks up a plan to win the heart of Rosina in disguise. To get there, he has to get past Dr. Bartolo, Rosina's guardian, with whom she lives. However, Bartolo has his own plans to marry his ward – not least for her inheritance.

Gioachino Rossini was only 23 when he presented his seventeenth opera, »Il barbiere di Siviglia«. It conquered the globe in no time. The composer, who played the cello, the violin, the cembalo, the French horn and the organ, sang and dabbled in the art of cooking as well as being a gifted musical humorist, created a lively musical intrigue that has not been matched to this day.

This production is accompanied by a programme from the Arts & Education team.

Für SWR2 besuchte Bernd Künzig die Premiere und berichtet von einem »tierischen Spaß« und einem »starken Ensemble«. Seine Rezension, gesendet am 22. April 2023 im SWR2 Journal am Mittag, können Sie im Online-Angebot des SWR nachhören. 

»Kultpotenzial« sieht Karl Georg Berg in der Rheinpfalz (1. Juni 2023) in der Inszenierung von Inga Levant, die aus der Vorlage »ein absurdes Theater der besonderen Art« mache: eine »köstliche Sache«. Gag folge auf Gag und eine »schräge Übertreibung« der nächsten - Abbild einer aus den »Fugen geratenen Weltordnung« und ein »Vergnügen am Abgrund«. Viel Lob spendet der Rezensent den Ensemblemitgliedern, auch aus dem Orchestergraben habe es »viel zündende Impulse und eine spritzige Wiedergabe von Rossinis Musik« gegeben.
