Cardiff Opera returns to The Mission Theatre, its home in Bath, to finish its 2023/24 season in style with one of the most beloved operatic comedies of all time.

Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia follows the young Count Almaviva, disguised as the student Lindoro, as he tries to woo the beautiful and passionate Rosina and make her fall in love with him. For this to happen, he must first rescue her from the clutches of her miserly and elderly ward, Doctor Bartolo, who has designs to marry Rosina himself, once she comes of age, and rob her of her considerable dowry.

Get ready for mistaken identities, laughable attempts at disguise, and larger-than-life characters. In this exciting new production by Persia Babayan-Taylor, set at the Seville Hotel, Cardiff Opera brings an accomplished team of young professionals and its usual blend of top-quality opera on a small scale to this all-time favourite.

Featuring the virtuosic party-piece ‘Largo al factotum’, as featured in Mrs Doubtfire, as well as a whole host of other sparkling arias and ensembles, this is the perfect summer night out at the opera for all the family.
