In London, Sweeney Todd is a well-known barber on Fleet Street and yet it is the Barbiere di Siviglia that is most often visited. In Bow Street, at the Royal Opera House, from 2 February to 6 March 2023, Andrzej Filończyk performs as Rossini’s hero accomplice Count Almaviva, the great Rossinian tenor Lawrence Brownlee, who is about to woo Aigul Akhmetshina‘s charming Rosina under the exasperated eye of the dottore Bartolo (Fabio Capitanucci) and the taunting eye of Don Basilio, the great Bryn Terfel. A Barber of Seville in London highly recommended!
