The project "The Barber of Seville" for children is by Stara Zagora State Opera and was realized in 2013 with the support of Stara Zagora Municipality under the program "Cultural Calendar".

Some researchers claim that Rossini wrote The Barber of Seville in 12 days! Whether the opera was composed in 12 or 20 days is not so important. What matters is that a true gem of musical literature was created. The opera "The Barber of Seville" is one of the most cheerful, funniest and most attractive operatic works in the entire opera literature. A series of sparkling and unique musical numbers. Few operas have so many arias, duets and ensembles beloved by millions.

A complicated and convoluted story is what happens when you want to win the love of a girl and the whole world is against you. Figaro comes to Count Almaviva's aid to win the heart of his beloved Rosina. He's an unrivalled specialist in public relations, marketing and advertising! He's more - a wedding planner, matchmaker, psychotherapist from Seville, Spain.

Figaro can give advice on love letter writing, acting and more, he is a writer, actor and director of class - both in the performances of his life and the lives of others. Figaro knows how to make complex but strong connections - of the rich with the poor, of the lovers with the hard-hearted, of the innocent with the schemers. Figaro derives personal benefit for himself, but everyone also gets what they want.

Bring your child to the April 4, 11 a.m. performance of The Barber of Seville at the Opera House!
