is delighted to return to the Barn Theatre to launch its national tour of this
great comic opera, fizzing with musical brilliance, bold humour and famous tunes. Join
us to follow the escapades of the quick witted and irrepressible Figaro as he
untangles the fortunes of a beautiful and feisty but imprisoned heiress, her greedy
and lecherous guardian and the love-struck but always inventive Count Almaviva. Given
the 'Merry Opera treatment', a large shaving brush is really a chair, a giant
hair tonic bottle provides Rosina's balcony and prison and a plethora of fashionable
moustaches and stylish frocks invigorate Rossini's great
masterpiece to delight both connoisseurs and opera newcomers.
