A Season of (Re)Building 

Experience the world premiere of The Factotum, a soul opera inspired by Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" that has grown into a joyful, original piece all its own, commissioned by Lyric. Creators Will Liverman, a Grammy-nominated baritone, and dynamic producer/DJ/multi-instrumentalist DJ King Rico update the action to a Black barbershop on Chicago's South Side, creating an irresistibly upbeat work that celebrates the strength of community. The Factotum blends diverse musical styles with boundless imagination to create a soul opera, moving from gospel and funk to rap, hip-hop, classic barbershop quartet, and R&B. Those styles connect brilliantly with classical singing in a very human comedy that redefines everything that opera can be.
