Matinee ROH -The Barber of Seville 19 th February 2.0 pm

When Rosina falls in love with mysterious young suitor Lindoro,  she must use all her cunning – and a little help from her local barber –  to outwit her calculating guardian Dr Bartolo.

Expect  heart-melting serenades, ridiculous disguises and a fairytale ending  waiting just out of reach. From the barber’s opening number ‘Largo al  factotum,’ with its cry of ‘Figaro!,’ to Rosina’s feisty aria ‘Una voce  poco fa,’ Gioachino Rossini’s comic opera is a riotously entertaining  affair. Rafael Payare makes his House debut, and joins Christopher  Willis in conducting a cast that includes Andrzej Filończyk, Aigul  Akhmetshina, Laurence Brownlee, Konu Kim and Bryn Terfel.

Doors open 1.30pm. Bar available.
