“The Barber of Seville”
October 24, 2025 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Opera Omaha presents “The Barber of Seville” on Oct. 24 and 26 at the Orpheum Theater, with music by Gioachino Rossini and libretto by Cesare Sterbini.
Synopsis: Escape on a wild ride through the streets of Seville, where schemes unfurl, passions flare, and chaos occasionally reigns. Figaro, the mischievous barber, is at the center of it all, pulling strings and outwitting anyone who thwarts his plans to help Count Almaviva win Rosina’s heart. From fiery verbal duels to hilarious deceptions, “The Barber of Seville” is a spirited romp starring Rossini’s lively score and iconic arias.
Internationally acclaimed director Stephen Lawless leads Opera Omaha favorite Alexander Birch Elliott (Eugene Onegin, Così fan tutte) as Figaro, celebrated mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack (Ainadamar, Metropolitan Opera) as Rosina, and rising star Minghao Liu as Count Almaviva.
