Artiste: Trevore Ross

Director Trevore Ross emphasized the silly and the madcap in Beaumarchais’ hectic plot to The Barber of Seville. The audience loved it. 

Of the “ABCs” of opera (Aida, Bohème, and Carmen), Bizet’s masterpiece is the one that has made the transition to pop culture ubiquity. Surely even the most oblivious of listeners are able to whistle along to the “Habanera” and “Toreador Song”. Furthermore, the melodramatic story of exoticism, lust and rejection is one of the most popular of operatic tales.
