From the first notes of one of the world’s most famous overtures to the final curtain, your heart will be racing — but not for the exit!
Love is in the air – but there’s also a whiff of trouble!
Who’s the guy you can call when your love life’s in shambles? It’s Figaro! Figaro! Figaro! – the indomitable barber of Seville, who’s a master of disguises, surprises, and deceptions. If you’ve got the money, he’s got the time for even the most difficult case! Enter Count Almaviva, who’s smitten with the lovely Rosina. But her grumpy old guardian has her under lock and key because he intends to marry her himself! Not to worry, though, because Figaro has more offensive and defensive moves than The Dallas Cowboys, and true love triumphs in the end.
