The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini

The Barber of Seville is one of the most popular operas, if not pieces of classical music, ever written — and you probably already know it! This music permeates all cultural boundaries, showing up everywhere, from Looney Tunes to Mrs. Doubtfire to opera houses around the world. The score is packed with ear worms, the comedy is razor sharp, and the vocal acrobatics are truly mind-blowing.

Rossini’s score requires fearless singing actors who can handle lightning-fast patter and sky-high runs. We are thrilled to have assembled an incredible cast to meet these many challenges — and each of them is a Boston Summer Opera alum! This production is a true celebration of the artists who have shaped Boston Summer Opera.

This production will be performed in Italian with English supertitles. The run time will be approximately two hours with one 15-minute intermission, making it fast-paced and accessible without sacrificing the musical and comic brilliance that makes Barber such a masterpiece.

Tickets are affordable, vibes are welcoming, and we guarantee that this show will make you fall in love with opera.
