The New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera is set to present a full-scale, traditional Italian production of Rossini’s “Il Barbiere Di Siviglia” (“The Barber of Seville”) on the main stage of Stockton University’s Performing Arts Center 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9.
The show — a part of the PAC’s Dinner & Show Series — is considered the finest comic opera in existence. From start to finish, it is marvelously crafted, brilliantly inventive and uproariously funny. The libretto is based on “Le Marriage de Figaro of Baumarchais.” Verismo Opera promises a show with international soloists, beautiful sets and costumes, a chorus and orchestra of New Jersey area artists, and English subtitles projected above the stage.
