Opera Oggi New York Presents Rossini's Barber of Seville

Opera Oggi New York offers two performances of this comic masterpiece with exceptional artists whose mission it is to connect with new audiences.  As soon as the overture of this perennial favorite begins, it is clear Rossini’s music is some of the most well-known and most accessible in all of opera.  The Barber of Seville tells the story of the triumph of love over adversity with the help of a wily wing man and a good helping of disguises, misunderstandings and hilarity.  This opera is surely one of the best by which to introduce new comers to this incredible art form.
