THE ROYAL BALLET THE BARBER OF SEVILLE

When Rosina falls in love with a mysterious young suitor who calls himself Lindoro, she must use all her cunning – and a little help from her local barber – to outwit her calculating guardian Dr Bartolo.

Expect heart-melting serenades, ridiculous disguises and a fairytale ending waiting just out of reach. 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,’ Gioachino Rossini’s comic opera is a riotously entertaining affair. Rafael Payare makes his Royal Opera House debut conducting an outstanding international cast that includes Andrzej Filończyk, Aigul Akhmetshina, Lawrence Brownlee and Bryn Terfel.

Pan mae Rosina’n syrthio mewn cariad â dyn ifanc dirgel sy’n galw ei hun yn Lindoro, rhaid iddi ddefnyddio ei holl gallu – ac ychydig o help ei barbwr lleol – i dwyllo ei gwarcheidwad craff, Dr Bartolo.

Cewch sawl ‘serenade’ i doddi’r galon, gwisgoedd llawn hwyl a diweddglo tylwyth teg. O’r gân agoriadol enwog ‘Largo al factotum,’ gyda’i gri o ‘Figaro! Figaro!, hyd at aria Rosina ‘Una voce poco fa,’ mae opera gomig Gioachino Rossini yn hynod o ddifyr. Dyma Rafael Payare yn perfformio am y tro cyntaf yn y Tŷ Opera Brenhinol, gan arwain cast rhyngwladol eithriadol sydd yn cynnwys Andrzej Filończyk, Aigul Akhmetshina, Lawrence Brownlee a Bryn Terfel.
