Enjoy a Preview: The Overture

Overture to The Barber of Seville

Performed by a full orchestra, the overture to The Barber of Seville is one of the most iconic pieces in the operatic repertoire. Its bright, fast-paced, and energetic rhythms immediately capture the playful and comic spirit of the opera. Frequently performed in concert settings outside of the full opera, the overture is a lively introduction that sets the tone for the witty and vibrant story to follow.
