CAAL Night: Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Opera

October 27 2009

Lincoln Center
New York, NY 10023
212-546-2656

Drinks at the Revlon Bar 7:15 PM to 7:45 PM
Performance 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM

The equally charming divas Joyce DiDonato and Diana Damrau brought their distinct interpretations to the role of Rosina in The Barber of Seville. Rodion Pogossov played the swaggering barber.

The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution (Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto (based on Pierre Beaumarchais's comedy Le Barbier de Séville) by Cesare Sterbini. The overture, first written for Aureliano in Palmira, is a famous example of Rossini's characteristic Italian style.
