Live performance from Teatro Real de Madrid, January 2005. The Barber of Seville, or The Vergeblichen Precaution (German: Der barbier von Sevilla, d. h. Die unnötige vorsichtsmaßnahme) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The libretto was based on Pierre Beaumarchais' ' s französische komödie Le Barbier de Séville (1775). The première of Rossini' ' s opera (under the title Almaviva oder Die nutzlose vorsicht) took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome. Rossini's Barber has proven to be one of the greatest masterpieces of comedy within music, and has been described as the opera buffa of all "opere buffe". Even after two hundred years, its popularity on the modern opera stage attests to that größe. [description from Wikipedia].
