The Barber of Seville
The Coliseu Porto Ageas premieres a new production of the opera “The Barber of Seville”, one of the most acclaimed operas of all time. In 18th century Seville, the jolly barber Figaro helps Count Almaviva win over Rosina. But Rosina, who is not indifferent to her mysterious suitor's serenades, is jealously guarded by old Bartolo who, aided by the sinister Basilio, wants to marry his ward as soon as possible.
