Lyric Opera 2019-2020 Issue 2 The Barber of Seville

Lyric Opera of Chicago | 16 Figaro (Nathan Gunn) is amused as Bartolo (Alessandro Corbelli) woos Rosina (Isabel Leonard): The Barber of Seville at Lyric, 2013/14 season. Everyone loves a good story, and when comedy, romance, and music that is both stunning and silly all come together, even better. Add in a disguised count, a damsel in distress, a possessive and preening guardian—and, of course, the original barber-fixer, Figaro—and you have a recipe for mischief and mayhem from start to finish. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to laugh as we experience The Barber of Seville . Robert Kusel
