Review title: Not just another Barber of Seville
Product review: As I already owned a number of versions of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, including one I was extremely pleased with (see my review of the version by Zurich Opera), I was not considering buying another one, so soon, until I heard Juan-Diego Florez perform on Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. I agree wholeheartedly with the review by Toni Bernhard and can only add that apart from hearing Florez perform another role, the entire opera is a complete delight. From the assembly of the stage-set during the playing of the overture, through the ingenious use of black and white costumes and sets for most of the opera, the eccentric makeup of almost everyone except Count Almaviva and Figaro to the curtain dropping on the colorful set and crouching soldiers at the end of this performance from the Teatro Real, Madrid, this is a Barber of Seville that very successfully distances itself from all other versions available.
