Summary:
Rossini's effervescent comedy takes on new life with a superb cast led by conductor Andrew Davis. Kathleen Battle shines as Rosina, a feisty young women with a mind of her own--especially when it comes to love. Rockwell Blake is her suitor, the handsome Count Almaviva, who must outwit Rosina's elderly guardian, Dr. Bartolo (Renato Capecchi), who wants to marry the girl himself. Paolo Montarsolo sings Don Basilio, Rosina's music teacher. And at the center of it all is William Workman as Figaro, the resourceful barber of the title, who pulls the strings and brings the young lovers together.
Contents:
Overture
Piano, pianissimo
Ecco ridente in cielo
Ehi, Fiorello? Mio signore!
Largo al factotum della città
Ah, ah! che bella vita!
Se il mio nome saper voi bramate ; L'amoroso e sincero
All'idea de quel metallo portentoso
Numero quindici a mano manca
Una voce poco fa
Sì, sì, la vincerò!
La callunnia è un venticello
Eh! No: vo' fare a modo mio ; Ma bravi!
Dunque io son
Ora mi sento
A un dottor de la mia sorte
Bronta la quanto vuoi ; Finora in questa camera ; Ehi, di casa!
Eccolo qua, Eccolo qua ; Ah, venisse il caro oggetto
Che cosa accadde
Fredda ed immobile
Ma signor
Ma vedi il mio destino ; Pace e gioia
In somma, mio signore, chi è lei
Contro un cor che accende amore
Bella voce! Quando mi sei vicina
Don Basilio!
Buona sera, mio signore
Orsù, signor Bartolo
Ah! disgraziato me! Il vecchiotto cerca moglie
Dunque voi Don Alonso
Temporale (Storm)
Alfine eccoci qua ; Ah! qual colpo
Zitti, zitti, piano, piano
Ah, disgraziati noi!
Di sì felice innesto.
