Opera 15 April 2004, Closed 19 June 2004

Savoy Theatre The Strand, London

Rossini's comic opera The Barber Of Seville was written after Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, although it tells the story of the same characters before the Count has won Rosina from under the nose of her jealous Guardian, Doctor Bartolo. It is full of masterly writing and delightful ensembles that provide a quick pace for the comic scheming by the colourful characters, with their mixed-up identities and disquises.

This production played in repertory with The Marriage Of Figaro (Mozart) from 8 April 2004 to 19 June 2004.

"Cutting-edge production... beautifully paced" The London Evening Standard
