Get ready for disguises, trickery, and incredible singing — the barber is back in town. The clever Figaro and the beautiful Rosina are determined to outwit her greedy guardian so that Rosina can marry her true love, Almaviva. Can love win the day?


Musicologist and guest speaker Laura Stanfield Prichard explores the wit and subversive charm at the heart of this zany and hilarious classic opera, while Boston Lyric Opera artists join to demonstrate the vocal fireworks of Rossini’s thrilling music.
