Adaptation of the famous opera Il Barbiere di Siviglia by Gioacchino Rossini, The Barber of Seville tells the story of a Spanish count who has fallen in love at first sight with a girl named Rosine. To ensure that she really loves him and not just his money, the Count disguises himself as a poor college student named Lindor, and attempts to woo her. His plans are foiled by Rosine’s guardian Doctor Bartholo, who keeps her locked up in his house and intends to marry her himself. The Count’s luck changes after a chance reunion with Figaro, a cheeky barber with access to the Doctor’s home. After being promised money, and afraid the Count will seek revenge on him if he refuses, Figaro devises ways for the Count & Rosine to meet and talk. The story climax in the marriage of the Count & Rosine.
