About the event
Orcas Center brings Rossini’s beloved comic opera Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) to the Center Stage Screen. Though it famously stumbled on opening night—due more to local rivalries and politics than the quality of the work—it went on to become one of the world’s most popular comic operas.
Overflowing with buoyant humor and elegant melodies, this timeless masterpiece has captivated audiences for over two centuries. Its most iconic tunes, especially the lively introductory patter song of the charismatic barber Figaro, have become ingrained in global musical culture.
