About the show
Rossini’s The Barber of Seville - A whirlwind of love, wit and mischief.
Get ready for opera’s ultimate feel-good comedy! Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville hits the stage in a whirlwind of brilliant disguises, breathless scheming, and unmatched vocal fireworks.
Count Almaviva falls head over heels in love when he sees the beautiful Rosina. But he is stymied by her curmudgeonly, controlling guardian, Dr. Bartolo, who wants her hand - and her fortune - for himself. Enter Figaro, the town’s wily, fast-talking barber, who orchestrates a series of plots to outsmart the old doctor…………
With high-octane energy and enchanting romantic duets, Merry Opera has created a deliciously mischievous show, sung in English (translation by Amanda Holden) by a cast of young professional opera singers directed by John Ramster. A perfect introduction for opera newcomers and a beloved staple for seasoned enthusiasts.
Merry Opera returns to Broadstairs following their sparkling 2026 production of Cosi fan tutte.

Our audiences say that we 'thrill the doubtful and yet still delight the devotee'
We aim to open a door for people who find opera hard to access and understand by staging professional shows in modern English that can be appreciated by audiences accustomed to music theatre and pantomime, while staying true to the core of the original.
