Le Barbier de Séville Gioachino Rossini High-voltage arias and all the giocoso spirit inspired in Rossini by a colorful Spain. Cast Cyrille Dubois | Count Almaviva Juliette Mey | Rosina Stefan Astakhov | Figaro Marc Barrard | Bartolo Adolfo Corrado | Basilio Marion Lebègue | Berta Jean-Gabriel Saint Martin | Fiorello Orchestre Symphonique Région Centre-Val de Loire / Tours Laurent Campellone | conductor Chœur de l’Opéra de Tours | conductor David Jackson In a few words "Figaro qua, Figaro la… Tra la la la la…" All of Rossini's giocoso spirit shines in this famous aria from Il Barbiere. It is one of the most demanding pieces due to the vocal roller coaster it requires at a breakneck pace. This scene encapsulates the work itself, which unfolds entirely at a truly wild tempo. Sterbini's brilliant libretto weaves misunderstandings, altercations, and countless adventures that the composer translated with an intelligence and vivacity in which one can only delight.
