In a time when operas are often set to different contexts from the ones they were intended for, a philological production has its merits, representing both a rediscovery and a provocation.
This Barbiere di Siviglia, which at first sight might appear old-fashioned, restores, in fact, to perfection the setting of an early 19th-century Italian theatre. It was a time when the glorious tradition of popular comedy, a direct descendant of the 16th-century "commedia dell'arte", was very much alive, and the singers entertained the audience with humour that was direct and catchy.
Bepi Morassi's direction witnesses to the importance of that heritage, based on the improvising skills of actors that came from the common people and need to communicate concepts of common social life, through colourful costumes, musical instruments and masks modelled on the archetypes of the day.
Humour, which here triumphs, makes of this Barbiere di Siviglia, a truly entertaining visual and audio experience.

i was disappointed with this DVD, i thought that it would be great -a traditional dressed Il Barbiere but i hated the audience intrusion during the overture-i mean showing late people going to their seats. Tha tenor seemed to shout his way through most of it which was a shame. Apart from the tenor i enjoyed it but on the box it says that it is back to a funny il barbiere, well i did not laugh and i have seen many a funny il barbiere. Avoid unless you really want it.
