Il barbiere di Siviglia

Opera

Writers: Gioachino Rossini Cesare Sterbini

Context

Rossini composed Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L鈥檌nutile precauzione (The Barber of Seville, or The Futile Precaution) based on the play by Pierre Beaumarchais, Le Barbier de S茅ville, a French comedy. Beaumarchais wrote a famous trilogy of plays, the second of which Mozart based Le Nozze di Figaro. A handful of other composers also created operas based off of the first play, and one, Paisiello, did not approve of the fact that Rossini had also written a version. Before the composition of Il barbiere di Siviglia, Rossini was producing a large number of works in order to support his family.
