Here more than ever before, the artists are at the service of the music and the comedy. Lionel Lhote will take on the role of Figaro with his resounding baritone voice and acting skills that have already been so appreciated on the Opéra Royal de Wallonie stage. Jodie Devos, a Belgian soprano discovered through the Reine Elisabeth award, will play on the intensity of her interpretation to bring out the emotions contained in the role of Rosina to perfection. Equally, the tenor Gustavo de Gennaro is predestined to sing the opera's famous final Rondo. Among the most frequently played operas across the world, The Barber of Seville remains unsurpassed. Let us not forget for all that that The Barber of Seville is a work inspired by Beaumarchais. On re-reading this book, the music lover will already find some operatic indications there. It is as if the author wished his words to be adapted for opera.
A pupil of doctor Bartolo, Rosina leads an uneventful life until, introduced by Figaro, a barber in Seville, the young count Almaviva comes into it. This young man is called on to redouble his ingenuity, with Figaro's tricks, to thwart the vigilance of Bartolo, who has no intention of allowing this alliance.
