MISCHIEF TRIUMPHS FOR LOVE
Meet Figaro—Seville’s most famous barber and mischief maker—who’s always one step ahead with a plan and a punchline. When Count Almaviva falls for the clever and charming Rosina, it’s up to Figaro to outwit her scheming guardian so true love can triumph.
Featuring the iconic “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!” aria, Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia brims with rapid-fire wit, unforgettable music, and comedic twists at every turn. Proving that a sharp blade and an even sharper mind can conquer just about anything, don’t miss this riotous romp at the Tennessee Theatre.
Sung in Italian with projected English Translations.
