This year, The Barber of Seville, from Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini, will be performed and illuminate Little Italy. “It’s a pleasure to organize such a big event. Montreal’s Italian Week’s outdoor opera is the occasion to enjoy a classical art that is not always accessible to everyone on a daily basis.” - Salvatore Sciascia, Artistic Director In his four-act opera, Rossini tells Count Almaviva’s tale. Head over heels in love with the beautiful Rosina, Almaviva will do everything in his power to win her heart, with the help of his notorious valet, Figaro.
