Description:

The Barber of Seville" is one of Rossini's most popular works, performed by the Vienna State Opera under the baton of Michele Mariotti, Rossini's protégé, Florez Rossini's best tenor of our time, who delivers a stunning Almaviva. Set in Seville, Spain, the opera buffa masterpiece is a comical love story about Count Almaviva and Rosina, the town girl, who are brought together by the resourcefulness of Figaro, the town's master of all things, and is portrayed with lively music. The film features the ironclad Rossini lineup of Juan Diego Flores, the best Rossini tenor of our time, and conductor Michele Mariotti, who is considered the poster child for Rossini. Rosina is Vasilisa Berzhanskaya, a mezzo-soprano of note for her flamboyance and superb technique. Figaro is sung by the Canadian baritone Etienne Dupuis. Flores' Almaviva is a masterpiece, combining all the qualities of a first-rate Rossini singer: witty lightness, richness of voice, brilliance, and impeccable technique. King International
