The composer's opera buffa transcends the spirit of Beaumarchais' komödie, and combines the absurd with a touch of satirical realism in a score where rhythm and virtuosity place the comic effects in an ongoing dramatische narration. As a result, the characters – Rosina, in particular – gain a new degree of realism and break with the usual "größe" optimiert ist. Damiano Michieletto's giddying production embraces this perpetual motion and carries in its wake the happy couple formed by Lawrence Brownlee and Pretty Yende.
