Comic
set os
'The Barber of Seville," a comic opera
by Gioachino Rossini, will be the School
nf Music's summer opera Aug. 4-6.
The production is based on a comedy
by French dramatist Pierre Beaumarchais.
According to John Zei, producer and
director of the opera, "The Barber" is
considered "the greates comic opera in
the annals of opera."
The opera is the story of Figaro, the
barber of Seville, who is called upon to
help Count Almaviva gain access to the
home of Dr. Bartolo wo woo his ward
Rosina. The count has seen Rosinu and
has fallen in love with her, but the only
person permitted to Nee her is Don
Basilio, her singing teacher.
"Dr. Bartolo is a crotchety, old man,
but he wants to marry Rosina himself for
her money," Zei explained.
In his efforts to win Rosina, Count
Almaviva first is disguised as a poor
student, because he wants to be assured
that she does not love him for his money.
Figaro then plans for the count to gain
entry to Dr. Bartolo's house disguised as a
drunken soldier demanding lodging there.
"The height of the humor comes in
this scene," Zei said, "along with the
famous sextet with Rosina, Figaro, the
count, Don Basilio, Dr. Barlolo and
concerts
quartet plays only portions of musical
compositions and discusses Ihe selections
with the audience.
A special informal dialogue concert
"in-the-round" will be videotaped by the
Nebraska ITV Network at I p.m. July
24. A limited number of seals will be
available, Tr.cinski said, so persons
interested in attending that concert
should contact Kon Nicodemus,
472-361 1, to make reservations.
Admission to all three concerts is free.
The Stradivari Quartet takes its name
from the four Slradivarius instruments
used. The two violins, viola and cello are
on loan from the Corcoran (iallery of
Art, Washington, D.C.
The quartet visited Ihe UNL campus

"No one can figure out what anyone
else is doing there," Zei said, "and the
scene ends with even more eonfushn
when a guard comes in to tell Hum
they're disturbing the peace."
In trying to explain the situation to
the guard, each of the characters blames
everyone else, "and all of them end '.ip
singing al (he top of their lungs," Zei
said.
Finally, Figaro plans to gel the count
into Dr. Bartolo's home disguised as
Rosina's singing teacher.
"He's disguised as a very sissified cleric
with a big hat and big, round glasses, who
tells them Don Basilio is sick," Zei said.
"It's really a spoof on the men of the
cloth of those days."
A "cra.y singing lesson" follows, Zei
said, but Don Basilio arrives during it, to
Dr. Bartolo's confusion. Figaro and
Count Almaviva tell Don Basilio that he
has scarlet lever and send him away wilh
a purscful of money.
Finally, Figaro begins to shave Dr.
Bartolo, "in one of the most famous
scenes of all. Fveryonc ends up chasing
everyone else around the stage. It's pure
slapstick," Zei said.
In Hie final recognition scene, all of
the disguises are explained, Rosina and
Count Almaviva are married and "all's
well thai ends well," Zei said.
