Composer: Gioacchino Rossini
Stage Director: Chuck Hudson Conductor: Emmanuel Plasson
Minnesota Opera 2001
“Barber
of Seville [was] a witty confection: Barber is a warhorse, but director
Chuck Hudson gives it a new patina. His emphasis on physical busyness, including
an amazing amount of high-spirited acrobatics, is a model true to the
extravagant nature of the piece that also enhances the characters…This is one
of Minnesota Opera’s most successful productions of many seasons.”
