Bartlett Sher’s lively 2007 Met production brings Rossini’s classic comedy to vivid life with fresh staging, sharp timing, and irresistible charm. Juan Diego Flórez dazzles as Count Almaviva, wooing the fiery Rosina—sung with flair by Joyce DiDonato—while Peter Mattei shines as the ever-clever Figaro.
 
Praised for its vocal brilliance and comedic precision, the performance showcases top-tier bel canto artistry. Critics hailed it as delightful, musically outstanding, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.
