SWANSEA City Opera will present a revival of their hugely successful production of The Barber of Seville at Theatre Royal Winchester on Tuesday.

The Barber of Seville is Rossini’s most famous opera - razor-sharp and full of twists and turns. Sung in English this production is set in period Seville, with outrageous 18th century costumes that complement the fizz and flare of Rossini’s musical genius. It is perfect both for the established opera goer, and those seeking to engage for the first time.

The performance will be accompanied by the Swansea City Opera Chamber Orchestra and Winchester Community Choir will perform as additional choristers to the core professional members on the evening.

A young Spanish nobleman, Count Almaviva, is in love with the beautiful and rich Rosina, ward of the lecherous Doctor Bartolo, who plans his own marriage to her. Along comes the meddling Figaro, the town barber, and suddenly we have all the ingredients for confusion and mayhem.

From Figaro’s famous entrance aria ‘Largo al factotum’ to the frenzy of the Act I finale, The Barber of Seville makes for a rollicking evening’s entertainment, don’t miss this ultimate feel-good opera that is always cheerful and fun.
