A lecherous old man is no match for young love and sheer audacity, especially when Figaro is involved. Dr. Bartolo is love with Rosina, his young and beautiful charge. But when she falls in love with a “poor student,” (a count in disguise) the stage is set for laugh-out-loud comedy.

Rossini’s score is punctuated with brilliant ensembles and some of opera’s most familiar arias, including Figaro’s ode to his own fame.

A co-production with Canadian Opera Company, Opéra National de Bordeaux, and Opera Australia. Costume designs by Joan Guillen

Sung in Italian with English Surtitles.

Running in rotating repertory with Fidelio.
