Lovelorn Count Almaviva is eager to lure beautiful and feisty Rosina away from her lecherous ward Dr. Bartolo, who keeps her firmly under lock and key. So he solicits the assistance of Figaro, the well-connected barber of Seville.
Previously staged at Glyndebourne back in 1982, Rossini’s ever-popular opera buffe returned in this 2016 production that reunited the creative team behind the festival’s L’elisir d’amore: director Annabel Arden and conductor Enrique Mazzola. It also sees the return of two Glyndebourne favourites: lyric soprano Danielle de Niese as Rosina and Italian buffo baritone Alessandro Corbelli as Dr Bartolo. Award-winning young German baritone Bjorn Burger makes his Glyndebourne debut in the title role
