The Barber of Seville, June 2000

echo opera presents The Barber of Seville. A new translation by Ralph Oswick and Christopher Dickins, sung in English.

A comedy of mix ups, mishaps and marriage is propelled along by Rossini’s sparkling and vivacious score. The new translation moves the action from Seville to an English seaside town and shines new light on this fast moving tale. A story of close shaves, in more ways than one!
