This is an absolutely brilliant opera, one of my all-time favourites. The "sneeze scene" contains brilliant music also. I love Paisiello!! 'Nina' is a great opera also; I have a video of that, featuring Cecilia Bartoli as Nina. I wish 'Il barbiere di Siviglia' would be put into video also.
Yes. This is the original ouverture written by Paisiello for his Barbiere di Siviglia and Paisiello wrote for the first time an opera based on the Beaumarchais piece.
SALIERI,PAISIELLO,CIMAROSA...three great composers of classical opera...

Paisiello "Il barbiere..." does not exist in video? I really like to watch it. It has been put on stage recently?
