Fast, funny, and furious, this Glyndebourne Festival Opera production of Gioachino Rossini's classic opera boasts a torrent of sparkling music, while John Cox's production - sometimes outrageously boisterous, sometimes subtly inventive - adds it's own distinctive luster to this comic masterpiece.

Soprano Maria Ewing excels as the bewitching Rosina, and John Rawnsley gives a virtuoso performance as the witty barber Figaro. Conducted by Sylvain Cambreling.
