The Barber of Seville
The 2nd production of the winter season: The Barber of Seville is an opera buffa (comic opera) in two acts by Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868), premiered in Rome, 1816. Cesare Sterbini (1784-1831) wrote the Italian libretto, based on Pierre Beaumarchais (1732-99) French comedy of the same name (1775).
Rossini named the main character – the barber – Figaro, which made me think of next opera: Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro (1786), which was based Pierre Beaumarchais’ comedy of the same name, staged in 1784. But it wasn’t a tribute Rossini paid to Mozart.
Rosina, the rich ward of Mr. Bartolo is played by mezzo-soprano Lisa Marie Rogali (her site). I thought she did a marvelous job, portraying the title role, spontaneity and agile, giving the part a youthful look.
A wacky love story. 一个古灵精怪的爱情故事.
巴托洛先生的富家女罗西娜由女中音丽莎·玛丽·罗加利 (Lisa Marie Rogali)扮演. 我认为她演得非常出色, 既自然又敏捷, 让这个角色看起来年轻富有有活力.
爱情是永恒的主题
这几天教皇病重. 教皇们和天主教神父不可以结婚. 百分比非常高的教父们副业是性骚扰. 是刚需? 那教皇有没有? 有时怎么办? 如果解禁 性骚扰幼童会不会减少?
Dinner at Mariscos was good.
