“Opera is an underserved artform in Montana, and the Helena Symphony is elated to continue our fully staged performances each Season. The Barber of Seville is one of the great comedic operas, and with a celebrated cast from around the globe, this will be a performance to remember!”
– Cameron Knight, Director of Development & Communications
“Only in his mid-twenties, Rossini was sought after by several Italian theatres and audiences, and Rome was able to secure the composer to write The Barber of Seville,” explains Maestro Scott. “Maybe because Rossini loved life and was not the typical Romantic artist who was plagued with inner demons that his comedies seemed to be his most popular works. With its rich interplay between personalities and the predicaments, the story of The Barber of Seville is one of the opera’s greatest comedies.”
