| Description |
The role of the wily Figaro, Barber of Seville and organiser extraordinaire, is competed for by many a baritone. For Rossini's immortal character creation offers both challenges and stellar opportunities almost unequalled in the entire comic opera repertoire. Swedish baritone, Hakan Hagegard appears in the first performances of the title role of Rossini's masterpiece for the 1983 season and superb Australian baritone, John Fulford, for the later performances |
