2024.5.15. Barber of Seville

5/15, Wednesday. Seattle Opera's Barber of Seville is a real treat. Very funny. Lively and fun choreography. Good acting. Nice stage set. Beautiful costumes. 2 acts with a 25 min intermission. First act is twice as long as the 2nd. The story is typically operatic silly: Figaro plays matchmaker between the savvy Rosina and the lovesick Count Almaviva, while Rosina's vulturous guardian does everything he can to keep the lovebirds apart.
