Gioachino Antonio Rossini's The Barber of Seville

The Barber Of Seville tells the tales of an overprotective guardian outwitted by his daughters love with the help from the conniving barber Figaro. First performed in 1818, it was one of the first opera buffas, or comic operas. It is loosely based on a play by French playwright Pierre Beaumarchais.
