The tempestuous story of the love affair between Count Almaviva and Rosina, whose happy ending is thanks only to the wiles of Figaro, the barber, has been considered the archetypal work of opera buffa ever since its premiere. Rossini's score serves up a characteristically florid dish of melodies and rousing, energetic ensembles and finales. The production marks Katharina Thalbach's return to the Deutsche Oper Berlin as director, following her success with THE CUNNING LITTLE VIXEN.
