The Barber of Seville appeared in 1816 at Romes Teatro Argentina with a colossal fiasco. How is this possible? It is Olympe Pelissièr, Rossinis second wife, who tells us anecdotes and behind the scenes of the opera and the composer: the long wait to be officially recognised as wife, Rossinis obsessions and addictions to food... All this is intertwined with the characters of the most famous opera in the world... with a surprise ending! Performance written and narrated by Lucia Margherita Marino. Luciano Meola piccolo clarinet, Alessandro Dorella+Angelo Vinai+Andrea Sarotto+Luisella Cravero+Federico Melchionda clarinet, Edmondo Tedesco and Gianluca Calonghi bass clarinet.
