Summary:

For the last decade, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča has been one of the most captivating artists on the Met stage--from her searing portrayal in the title role of Bizet's Carmen to a charming appearance as Octavian in Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier. Her 2008 debut run at the Met was no exception, when Garanča wowed audiences as the feisty Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Bringing both a smoky timbre and velvety richness, her Rosina is as lovable as she is resourceful, and the mezzo-soprano is joined by a cast of bel canto specialists. As Figaro, the title barber of Seville, Franco Vassallo offers a commanding performance with his agile baritone. Tenor José Manuel Zapata sings with a bright, penetrating sound as Count Almaviva, the nobleman after Rosina's hand, and the robust voices of Bruno Praticò as Dr. Bartolo and Peter Rose as Don Basilio, round out the winning cast. Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium to conduct an energetic performance of this quintessential operatic farce.

Overture

Piano, pianissimo

Ecco ridente in cielo

Ehi, Fiorello? ... Gente indiscreta!

Largo al factotum della città

Ah, ah! che bella vita!

Se il mio nome saper voi bramate ... Oh, cielo!

All'idea de quel metallo portentoso

Numero quindici a mano manca

Una voce poco fa

Sì, sì, la vincerò!

La calunnia è un venticello

No, vo' fare a mio modo ... Ma bravi!

Dunque io son

Ora mi sento meglio

A un dottor de la mia sorte

Finora in questa camera ... Ehi, di casa

Ah, venisse il caro oggetto

Che cosa accadde

Fredda ed immobile

Ma signor

Ma vedil il mio destino ... Pace e gioia sia con voi

In somma, mio signore, chi è lei

Contro un cor che accende amore ... Cara immagine ridente

Bella voce! ... Quando mi sei vicina

Don Basilio!

Buona sera, mio signore

Orsù, signor Don Bartolo

Che vecchio sospettoso! ... Il vecchiotto cerca moglie

Dunque voi Don Alonso non conoscete affatto?

Temporale

Alfine eccoci qua

Ah! Qual colpo

Zitti, zitti, piano, piano

Ah, disgraziati noi!

Il Conte! Ah che mai sento!

Cessa di più resistere

Ah il più lieto, il più felice

In somma, io ho tutti i torti!

Di sì felice innesto.
