Il Barbiere di Siviglia

Il Barbiere di Siviglia (2001) is a comedy, music film directed by Grischa Asagaroff, Felix Breisach.

Live performance from Zürich Opera House, 2001. “Vesselina Kasarova’s Rosina turned this Barber into a major event. Pearling coloratura, endless resources of vocal colour and nuance and phenomenal acting versatility became mere means to an end: that of making Rosina into a human being of flesh and blood, with heart, humour and considerable brains.
