The Barber of Seville is a musical comedy full of twists and turns, romance, and cunning schemes—with a burlesque twist and directed by Vidar Magnussen.

We meet the charming barber Figaro, who, with his quick wit and even quicker solutions, helps the young Count Almaviva win the heart of the beautiful Rosina. The pace is fast, the melodies are timeless, and laughter comes easily as disguises, misunderstandings, and secret agreements become entangled.

This is opera at its most playful—elegant, energetic, and irresistibly entertaining

"The Barber of Seville " is a collaboration between Kilden , the Bergen National Opera, the Arctic Philharmonic, and the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.
