The Barber of Seville

Resource person: Carissa Smith-Burkett

Location: Grand Ballroom | 415 E. Sheridan St, Newberg, OR, 97132

Description:

Set in Alta California in the 1830s, they have retained all of Rossini’s buoyant good humor and added a fresh twist for audiences of all ages.

Rosina is new in town. Fresh from Me´xico, she lives with her controlling, suspicious Uncle Bartolo, who is planning to marry her off to one of his rich, elderly friends. But Rosina is in love with the handsome chavo she saw in the plaza. She knows he likes her too, but they have a problem…she speaks only Spanish, and he speaks only English! Enter the brilliant, bilingual vivales, Figaro! Porque a veces, ¡hasta el lenguaje del amor necesita traduccio´n!

Enjoyed by audiences of all ages! Each year, Portland Opera To Go travels throughout Oregon and SW Washington schools and community venues with a full-staged 50 minute, English-language adaptation of a famous opera.

 

Doors open at 1:30pm, performance begins at 2pm
