In this 2025 production of Rossini's classic, Bartlett Sher brings a fresh yet respectful take on 'Il Barbiere di Siviglia'. Aigul Akhmetshina's spirited portrayal of Rosina captivates, her vocal agility is a real highlight. Jack Swanson, making his Met debut, adds a youthful charm as Count Almaviva, though it’s Andrey Zhilikhovsky's Figaro that really steals some scenes with his charisma and comedic timing. The pacing feels lively, matching the humor in the libretto. The staging, while not overly elaborate, effectively draws out the vibrant atmosphere of Seville. It’s all about the performances here—each singer brings something unique, layered with a sense of mischief and romance that resonates throughout the production.
