Gioachinno Rossini's - The Barber of Seville. Friday, October 3, 2008 - 7:30 pm. Sunday, October 5, 2008 - 2 pm. 'Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!' Performed at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts.
Sung in Italian with English Supertitles. Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville has been hailed as a masterpiece of comedy ever since its premiere. When the bumbling Doctor Bartolo schemes to marry Rosina, Figaro (the barber of Seville) steps in to save the day and insure that her true love, the handsome Count Almaviva, gets her instead! The beautiful and dynamic Sarah Blaze (our Cinderella from 2007) returns as Rosina; Mark Walters (our fiery Pirate King from 2007) brings Figaro to vibrant life; and Joseph Muir (last heard at Nevada Opera in La Traviata in 2001) makes a long-awaited comeback as Count Almaviva.
