Capital Heights Lyric Opera Company Presents:
THE BARBER OF SEVILLE
Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" will be performed in its entirety in two acts. Rossini's Barber has proven to be one of the greatest masterpieces of comedy within music, and has been described as the opera buffa of all "opere buffe". Even after two hundred years, its popularity on the modern opera stage attests to that greatness.
