On this day in 1816 Gioachino Rossini's widely-known Barber of Seville was created! You should watch this humorous 2001 rendition directed by Grischa Asagaroff at the Zurich Opera, especially the unexpected entrance of Figaro - interpreted by Manuel Lanza- on a beautiful 1930's inspired vintage scooter during "Largo al factotum della città"! https://bit.ly/42IS6jF | medici.tv

Composed in barely three weeks when he was only 24 years old (though already on his seventeenth opera), Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia is his most renowned opera buffa. It strikes the perfect balance between irrepressible exuberance, lighthearted comedy, and high caliber artistry. Enjoy Gino Quilico (Figaro) in the classic "Largo al factotum della città". https://bit.ly/3Xdb1kd | medici.tv
