Pittsburgh Opera presents contemporary version of ‘The Barber of Seville’

April 2-10
‘The Barber of Seville’
Pittsburgh Opera presents Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville” April 2-10 at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts, Cultural District.
“The Barber of Seville” was originally set in Seville, Spain in the 18th century. Pittsburgh Opera is performing a more contemporary version that is set in Hollywood during the 1950s. For example, instead of Bartolo being a doctor with Rosina as his ward, in this production Bartolo is a movie producer and Rosina is his studio’s starlet. There will be many recognizable characters from Hollywood’s heyday sprinkled throughout this lively production, which will conjure some of the most treasured moments from Hollywood’s golden age.
Tickets start at $12.
