Rossini's master comedy returns to Bonn as a sparkling stage experience

With The Barber of Seville, the Bonn Theater presents Gioachino Rossini's famous opera buffa in a new production by Matthew Wild.

Figaro, Rosina, and Almaviva: a play of rhythm and seduction

Rossini's opera tells the story of a clever barber who, with ingenuity and a rapid ensemble spirit, sets the love story of Rosina and Almaviva in motion. The Bonn Theater locates the action in a Bonn barbershop, sharpening the social comedy of the source material. The Italian language, along with German and English surtitles, opens the evening to a wide audience. ([theater-bonn.de](https://www.theater-bonn.de/en/programm/der-barbier-von-sevilla/227939))

Directing with attitude, music with flair

Matthew Wild's staging does not rely on museum-like distance but on the present: hip-hop elements and an open view of cultural diversity make the evening a hybrid theater experience between operatic tradition and urban energy. The house itself describes the new production as a hymn to tolerance, self-irony, and love. ([theater-bonn.de](https://www.theater-bonn.de/en/programm/der-barbier-von-sevilla/227939))
