The Barber of Seville

30 Jan

Salle de l'Etoile - Espace Culturel et Festif de L'Etoile, 10 Avenue Léo Lagrange, 13160 Châteaurenard

The play *The Barber of Seville* at the Salle de l’Etoile.

In Seville, in the early 19th century, Rosina, a young orphan girl, is held captive by her guardian, Dr Bartholo, aided by his greedy right-hand man, Basile. Destined for a forced marriage on her 18th birthday, she falls in love with a mysterious suitor who courts her in secret. He is none other than Count Almaviva, who, with the help of his former valet, the mischievous barber Figaro, will attempt to rescue her… Following Labiche’s *L’Affaire de la rue de Lourcine*, the Compagnie des Modits returns with a whirlwind production of *The Barber of Seville*, in which the characters are by turns passionate, enamoured, mad, neurotic, frightened and blinded by love. As a tribute to Rossini, the acting gives way to musical interludes that punctuate the play. No stratagem is too far-fetched when it comes to freeing a captive from her tyrant. Directed by Justine Vultaggio, assisted by Alexis Rocamora. A play by Beaumarchais. Starring Oscar Voisin or Arthur Guézennec, Victor O’Byrne or Jules Fabre, Michaël Giorno-Cohen, Justine Vultaggio or Laura Marin, and Alexis Rocamora.
