Viewing: May 31,2025

Closing out The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024–25 Live in HD season is Rossini’s unforgettably effervescent comedy Il Barbiere di Siviglia.

Moldovan baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky stars as Figaro, the ingenious barber of Seville, with Hungarian bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as Dr. Bartolo and Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov as Don Basilio rounding out the principal cast. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts Bartlett Sher’s madcap production.
