Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia is a riotous romp of disguise, deception, and delight. Meet Figaro—Seville’s most famous barber and mischief-maker—who’s always one step ahead with a plan (and a punchline). When young Count Almaviva falls for the clever and charming Rosina, it’s up to Figaro to outwit her scheming guardian and make true love triumph.

Schemes, wills, and one unforgettable con. Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi is a fast-paced farce full of family drama, crafty deception, and razor-sharp wit. When a wealthy Florentine dies and leaves his fortune to a monastery, his greedy relatives turn to the sly and unconventional Gianni Schicchi to fix the problem—with delightfully chaotic results.
