First performed in 1816, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville is an opera buffa in two acts which has become one of the most beloved works in the operatic repertory. Determined to win the affection of the beautiful Rosina with charm and wit, rather than money, Count Almaviva recruits the help of Figaro, the barber of Seville, to steal her away from her guardian, Dr. Bartolo.
Festival favorite and U.P. native, tenor Miles Mykkanen, performs the role of Count Almaviva, and is joined by soprano Chrystal E. Williams as Rosina, baritone Levi Hernandez as Figaro, and bass Bradley Smoak as Basilio. The production is conducted by PMMF Artistic Director Donald Schleicher and is directed by Debra Dickinson.
On both July 9 and July 12, a pre-opera talk will be offered one hour before the performance. Tickets are General Cost: $45, $35, $22 and Student/Child Cost: $11. Click here to order tickets for the July 9 evening performance. Click here to order tickets for the July 12 matinee.
