About The Barber of Seville

Count Almaviva's love for the enchanting Rosina knows no bounds. In an act of devotion, he disguises himself as a humble student, yearning to win her heart with his personality, rather than his riches.

What follows is the ever-resourceful Figaro lending his skills to aid Count Almaviva in liberating Rosina from the clutches of her guardian, Dr. Bartolo. Relish in Figaro's playful mischief, as he becomes the indispensable force propelling Rosina toward her one true love…but is this a love story that is truly destined to be written?

Great performance, very entertaining, just occasionally out of time between singers and orchestra. Very enjoyable and would recommend.

Mr Peter fraher

Production was brilliant and we noticed a lady who was signing with great artistry and passion. A special thank you to her.

Stuart Campbell

Sparkling performance.

Karin Hemmer

Great opera, little space. Liked the costumes and the « mise en scène ». We did not expect the opera to be in English.

Christine Peyrot

We were delighted with the seats especially as we wanted 4 seats together. We thoroughly enjoyed the show, it was really great, the music, the sound, stage set, everything. It was a little hot in the theatre during the evening but despite that we had a great night!

Ron Waller

A very imaginative production Rossini's operatic challenge is a good choice for the ENO. Soloists were strong and their slapstick humour brought out many of the more subtle characterisations of this opera. The Coliseum, surrounded as it is by reasonably-priced restaurants, is an ideal venue for opera lovers and more reasonably priced. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Alberto Migliori

The performance was amazing, shame for the very uncomfortable seats tho

Maria

One of the best performances I have ever seen! Figaro must be knighted!
