Itinerary
Your tour includes reserved Stalls or Circle seats for the Glyndebourne performance of Gioachino Rossini’s sparkling comic opera The Barber of Seville, full of wit, romance, and unforgettable melodies. It follows the clever barber Figaro as he helps Count Almaviva win the heart of the spirited Rosina, outsmarting her scheming guardian Dr. Bartolo. From the barber’s famous opening number ‘Largo al factotum,’ with its cry of ‘Figaro! Figaro!,’ to Rosina’s feisty aria ‘Una voce poco fa,’ Rossini’s comic opera is a riotously entertaining affair. More details of the performance can be found at www.glyndebourne.com
