The Barber of Seville Signature Series & Reception

Sunday, February 26, 2012
2:00-3:00pm
Remis Auditorium, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

These provocative preludes to the operas in BLO’s season take place at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and employ a variety of art forms such as film, visual arts, theater and music to highlight a theme in the opera.

“The Sins of My Old Age – Rossini Tells All!”

Join arts and entertainment critic Joyce Kulhawik in a unique “live interview” with Signor Rossini – celebrated raconteur, gourmand, bon vivant, and composer of that irresistible masterpiece The Barber of Seville–played by Boston actor Patrick Shea. In addition, a group of BLO Emerging Artists will give audiences several ebullient examples of his melodic brilliance and unsurpassed musical wit.
