September 11 at 7:30pm and 13 at 2:00pm – The Gallo Center for the Arts – Bribery, Bel Canto, Disguise, Comedy and Love: The Barber of Seville is a sparkling, chaotic comedy which tells the story of two young lovers and their quest to be together. With memorable arias, breathtaking bel canto music and a delightful blend of romance with hijinks and humor, the effervescent music of The Barber of Seville remains a perennial favorite for audiences of all ages.
Please note The Barber of Seville will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. What are supertitles? Supertitles are like subtitles for opera, making the experience more accessible and fun. They can be found projected on to a screen above the stage!
