Six young people eke out a living with precarious work: Poet Rodolfo works at a newspaper and dreams of his breakthrough as a playwright. Marcello paints advertisements on walls. Philosopher Colline lives off private lessons. Musician Schaunard tinkers his way through bars. Mimì embroiders flowers on jewelry ribbons. Musetta keeps wealthy lovers.

One must imagine Gioacchino Rossini as a hard-working man. In 1810, at just 18 years old, he wrote his first opera. By the age of 20, he was considered Italy's most sought-after opera composer; by his 22nd birthday, he had written 13 operas and was known far beyond Italy's borders. "The Barber of Seville" remains his undisputed masterpiece and rightly belongs to the core operatic repertoire.
