Step into the bustling streets of Seville in Rossini’s lively classic, The Barber of Seville, where love, intrigue and quick-witted schemes take centre stage. Join Figaro, the sharp-tongued barber, as he aids Count Almaviva in his pursuit of Rosina—spirited, charming and inconveniently promised to another.
Celebrated Australian baritone Samuel Dale Johnson makes his Opera Australia debut in this vibrant production, set in a playful, 1920s-inspired world.
