Cheerful and colourful mini opera

Help! Rosina is in trouble! She likes the Count, but Bartolo wants her to marry himself instead. Who could help? Figaro, of course! What follows next is half an hour of speed and surprising twists, accompanied by Rossini’s cheerful music. The numerous roles of the mini opera are interpreted by two skillful singers, and the colorful orchestral sound is created by two musicians. This performance is suitable for everyone over the age of two.

In spring 2025, The Barber of Seville is performed in Swedish. Performances are produced with support from foundation Konstsamfundet.

The performances of The Barber of Seville will continue in autumn 2025 in Finnish. The performances will take place at the Opera House 16 and 17.9 Sep, 27 Sep, 27 and 28 Oct, and 15 and 16 Dec. More information about the performances and start of ticket sales will be announced on this page later in May.

Join in

The audience is invited to join in: everyone is doing a lot of things in these productions, with soloists in multiple roles, and the musicians are not always what they seem.
