Figaro : from The Barber of Seville by Rossini : paraphrase for violin and string orchestra

From the popular opera The Ghosts of Versailles. The plot revolves around the playwright Beaumarchais who attempts to seduce Marie Antoinette's ghost with the help of characters from his plays Barber ofSeville and Marriage of Figaro. Hysterical chaos ensues as the story unfolds. For 2 Sopranos Mezzo-Soprano Baritone and Piano.

The Barber Of Seville is a comic opera in two acts with a libretto (based on Beaumarchais's comedy Le Barbier De Seville). The Largo Al Factotum is from Act 1 of the opera as Figaro approaches the square by the house of Bartolo. Probably Rossini's most famous aria arranged for 4 bassoons. Enjoyable to listen to and great fun to play.Grade: 6
