The Barber of Seville

When Count Almaviva falls in love with the beautiful Rosina from afar he enlists the help of cunning barber Figaro to help him win her. But first they must outwit her guardian Dr Bartolo, who secretly hopes to marry the wealthy heiress himself.

Chinese mezzo and former Royal Opera Jette Parker Young Artist Hongni Wu leads the cast as the fiesty Rosina, battling against the restrictions of her fusty guardian Dr Bartolo sung by Italian baritone Fabio Capitanucci.

Rising-star Chinese tenor Anle Gou makes his debut as Count Almaviva, with prize-winning Catalan baritone Lluis Calvet i Pey as his faithful sidekick Figaro. Irish soprano Ailish Tynan returns for another scene-stealing turn as housekeeper Berta, with Turkish bass Cumhur Görgün as Basilio.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
