Who's playing

What's it about

One of Rossini's most celebrated operas unfolds a comedy full of rhythm and ingenuity, where the cunning Figaro orchestrates a thousand intrigues to help Count Almaviva win Rosina. Andrzej Filonczyk takes on the lead role alongside Leonor Bonilla, Santiago Ballerini, Paolo Bordogna and Simón Orfila, with musical and artistic director Pedro Bartolomé leading the BOS. The production by Vincent Dujardin for the Ópera royal Wallonie-Liège transports the action to 1950s Seville with a set design structuring a square surrounded by buildings that unfold scene by scene.
