The Barber of Seville

Programs

This production reimagines Rossini’s world-famous operaThe Barber of Sevillewith the added charm of musical theater and comedy. Blending the elegance of classic opera with lighthearted humor, the show makes all arias accessible in Korean.
The story follows Count Almaviva, who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful Rosina, only to learn that she is confined by her greedy guardian, Dr. Bartolo. With the help of Figaro—the town’s quick-witted jack-of-all-trades—Count Almaviva devises clever schemes to outwit Dr. Bartolo and win Rosina’s heart.
Audiences are treated to live operatic renditions of beloved arias, including “Largo al factotum,” while the musical-style adaptation lowers the barrier to opera, making it an inviting entry point for newcomers to the genre.
