Il barbiere di Siviglia, Salzburg Festival 2022

Cecilia Bartoli

When Il barbiere di Siviglia premiered in 1816, the Roman carnival was nearing its climax. The opera was a highly appropriate match for the unfettered atmosphere of those days: delighting in masks and disguise, performance and pretence, it is permeated with the spirit of carnival — far more so than Giovanni Paisiello’s opera on the same subject, with which the young Rossini boldly competed. In comparison with Paisiello, everything in Rossini’s work appears energized, charged with dramatic vibrancy and incisive theatricality. How different, for example, is the Barber’s first entrance: effervescing with vitality, Figaro’s aria implies that not a single thing can be accomplished in all of Seville if he doesn’t have a hand in it. While the cunning ideas that are supposed to help Almaviva to gain the hand of his Rosina are not as ‘delicious’ as Figaro claims, they undoubtedly determine the events — in fact, Figaro becomes something like a co-author of the piece, especially given that he frequently steps out of the action in order to comment on it from a distance. Rolando Villazón will expand the meta-theatrical dimension that characterizes the opera, thus opening up new potential for comedy and moments of poetry: the quick-change artist Arturo Brachetti will play the part of a daydreamer who seeks escape in old movies. But what if the movie characters suddenly step out into the real world to find themselves in an opera?
