Get caught up in the deceptions and counter deceptions, skirt-chasing and bullying run rampant in the palace of the Count Almaviva. Set in Spain, this continuation of the plot of The Barber of Seville focuses on the debauchery that unfolds during a single “day of madness” in this grand folly of aristocratic courtship.

The Florentine brings you a highly energetic production of Mozart’s melodies featuring a critically acclaimed cast. Grammy Winner, Daniel Belcher reprises his role as Figaro from the Florentine’s The Barber of Seville. – Adriana Zabala brings her critically acclaimed interpretation of Cherubino along with audience favorite tenor Frank Kelley of the Florentine’s two-time Grammy Award-winning Elmer Gantry (2010) and the world Premiere 2013 Grammy Award-winning Río de Sangre (2010) return for this light-hearted, hilarious romp as Basilio.

Don't miss your chance to see one of opera's greatest works in grand style.
