Movie Reviews of Rossini - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)

Movie Review: Wonderful Musical Comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

For a day in which dark clouds envelope you, if any theatrical event can lift your spirits, this is it. Rossini is Rossini and I have nothing to add to that. The librettist gave him every opportunity to shine and he did so. The cast ranged from very good to excellent, making the most of their iconic numbers and handling the others with an aplomb which gave a full measure of pleasure. The production was right on target with sparkling colors, vivid action, and fitting sets. What made it all work was the creation of scenic and costume designs which were contemporary neither to Rossini's nor our times, but rather were pure theater. Presumably there are those to whom the vocal embellishments intrinsic to bel canto grate. They had better go elsewhere since that is the essence of song here.
For the rest of us, this is a version of one of the standard works which truly glitters, no moss, no dust, no age blemishes; simply joy.
