Almaviva and the barber of Seville
Review of Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (in English) by MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: Fun and lively comic opera sung in English
Disadvantages: Not in the original language

...The Marriage of Figaro. A play already utilised as a basis for earlier operas including The barber of Seville by Paisiello in 1782 and Figaro by Mozart in 1796. The English translation provided by Amanda and Anthony Holden. This recording opens with the famous Overture with slow introduction leading to the main section with the two main themes repeated. The action then begins. The ardent Count Almaviva (Bruce Ford - tenor) has fallen in love with Rosina (Della Jones - contralto), the ward of Doctor Bartolo. Bartolo (Andrew Shore - baritone) however has plans to marry her himself. Almaviva serenades Rosina and sends her love letters under the assumed name of Lindoro. The factotum, Figaro (Alan Opie - baritone), arranges for him to visit Rossini disguised as a drunken soldier. The plan fails and he is arrested and imprisoned. Undeterred, Figaro... Read review

Operatic Farce
Review of Love's Luggage Lost - Gioacchino Antonio Rossini by MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: Comic opera at it's best
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to follow

...Love’s Luggage Lost, L’Occasione fa il ladro, is an opera rarely performed today. I for one had never heard of it and was looking forward to the recent Opera North’s revival of it as one of their recent productions in their Eight Little Opera Greats at the Lyric Theatre in the Lowry Centre, Manchester. The opera was composed by Gioachino Rossini in 1812 and the libretto, written in Italian, by Luigi Privdali. Entitled L’Occasione fa il ladro, it translates literally as Opportunity Makes the Thief. An Opera Farsa, the story whilst hilarious contains all the traditional elements of arias, duets and ensembles. The performance I went to was superb sung in English with a contemporary setting and with clever little tweaks to the libretto to bring it up to date. This performance was set in an aeroplane one of ‘Queasy Jets’ and an airport... Read review
