I saw the touring company of Rossini's The Barber of Seville about 25 years ago.  It was maybe my 3rd opera (after Gounod's Faust and something or other I can't remember).  I thought it was great, and was stunned to hear the Overture, which everyone who ever watched Bugs Bunny would find very familiar, the origin of which I had not known.  I have since learned that Rossini recycled some of his own previous work for the Overture.

The leading lady part is The Barber of Seville is Rosina.  In the production I saw, she was played/sung by a lovely young Chinese woman.  For about 5 minutes it seemed incongruous, but then I didn't think about it until the show was over.

Quite true.  Preoccupation with what's between your ears is no way towards self improvement or awareness.
Yes, preoccupation on Us Weekly, talk radio, or college football recruiting is so much better! :57:

Their biggest fault is that everything hinges on the notion that any group of people can keep a secret.
Well we can because no one knows we're here

For whatever reason, I never cared for musicals or operas or movies with a lot of singing.  I'm actually going to an opera on Friday, I kind of got hooked into that one and I'm not paying for it.  I don't even recall which opera it is, I might sleep through most of it.

Based on everyone's reviews, I suspect I would enjoy Hamilton though, but not at $300 each.
For 300 Bucks I want to talk to Hamilton but I'm sure that could be arranged so maybe I should shut up

I have a feeling that, looking back, that "missing shoulders" look is going to seem as goofy as bell-bottoms and platform shoes.

Nothing.  Nothing at all.  You keep wearing them for as long as you like.
Keep wearing that lime-green leisure suit too.

Didn't get any haircuts, but SFIrish took the kids to Seville last summer. They loved it.

That's not a movie scene.

"Unchained", Fair Warning album, Van Halen, 1981.
