IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA was Rossini's seventeenth opera, completed by the young composer in a matter of weeks, and was to become one of the key stage works of the first half of the nineteenth century. This recording of the Opera Buffa's live performance at the 1988 Schwetzinger Festspiele benefits from Michael Hampe's humorous stage direction and Gabrielo Ferro's command of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. Renowned soprano Cecilia Bartoli is cast as Rosina, the wealthy young charge of Dr Bartolo and apple of many an admirer's eye.

This is really an excellent production. Highly recommended.
A classic opera not to be missed. The singers were great as were the scene and costumes which made it very watchable. Very well done.
