A passionate count enlists a local barber and jack-of-all-trades to help him woo and wed a quick-witted woman. But it will take all their cunning - as well as some disguises and bribes - to ensure love wins the day.
Rossini’s 1816 masterpiece is not only a work of sublime farce, but also a story of male friendship, class, the confrontations of generations and a young woman’s struggle for freedom. Warsaw Chamber Opera has entrusted their new production to Grzegorz Chrapkiewicz, the director, a pedagogue, a master, and a mentor who has shaped several generations of Polish opera singers. With an excellent cast led by Hubert Zapiór in the title role, Chrapkiewicz teases out all the elegance of Beaumarchais’s original play with the buffoonery of the Italian commedia dell’arte tradition - all within the intimacy of the Warsaw Chamber Opera with only 200 seats.
