A complicated and convoluted story happens when you want to win the love of a girl and the whole world is against you. Figaro comes to the aid of Count Almaviva 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 writing love letters, acting, etc., 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 - in the opera The Barber of Seville, based on the play by Pierre de Beaumarchais and music by Gioachino Rossini.
