| | The Barber of Seville |
| | Brilliantly crafted, musically imaginative, and uproariously funny, Barber is a tour de force for the human voice. | | | Bartolo enters with the music master, Don Basilio, who tells him Almaviva is a rival for Rosina's hand and advises slandering the nobleman's reputation. | | | At the sound of Figaro's voice, Almaviva steps away as the barber bounds in, boasting of his busy life as the neighborhood factotum. |

| | CHERNOV SHINES IN L.A. OPERA'S REVIVAL OF THE BARBER OF SEVILLE |
| | Though Rossini's score, written at breakneck speed in 1815, used bits and pieces of earlier works of his, it still contains some of his most inspired melodies, especially in the passages he wrote for the barber. | | | As Chernov said in an interview, "You would need two or three lifetimes to completely understand the barber's complex character and the music Rossini wrote for him." | | | Chernov, who first assayed the role of the wily barber at the Kirov in 1984, has refined his performance over the years and has made it his signature role, thanks to his big, warm voice, expressive acting and flair for comedy. |

| | Jun Nakabayashi directs the orchestra with spark (although the music does overwhelm the singers at times), creating a show with as much delight for the ear as for the eye. | | | The performances in "Barber" are a bit uneven, with some of the roles played considerably more broadly than others. | | | A director faces the choice of which audience he wants to target, and it is no slight to suggest that David Sloss's staging of "The Barber of Seville" for West Bay Opera nods to a more contemporary style of farce, because the result is quite energetic and entertaining. |
