Rossini’s The Barber of Seville will delight audiences at the Sydney Opera House when Elijah Moshinsky’s sparkling production returns for the first time in almost a decade. In a spectacular homecoming Australian baritone Samuel Dale Johnson will make his Opera Australia debut as mischievous barber Figaro. Highly awarded Daniel Smith will conduct this rollicking comedy, leading a brilliant cast of singers through as many famous tunes as you can pack into two-and-a-half hours. Italian mezzo soprano Serena Malfi, in her first Australian appearance, will share the role of Rosina with Australian mezzo soprano Helen Sherman and Australian tenors John Longmuir and Shanul Sharma will share the role of Count Almaviva.
