WQED Season Recap - The Barber Of Seville
Saturday, August 31, 2024
1:00 PM
WQED-FM 89.3 and wqed.org/fm

Pittsburgh Opera, in collaboration with Classical WQED-FM 89.3, will broadcast the 2023– 24 season productions, giving listeners an opportunity to enjoy the operas all over again.

With scissors as sharp as his wits, the cunning barber Figaro is the go-to neighborhood trickster capable of solving any problem. When Count Almaviva finds himself smitten with the charming and clever Rosina, Almaviva knows exactly who to call to help him out. Through disguises and distractions, schemes and subterfuge, Figaro and Almaviva team up to outwit the dastardly Dr. Bartolo who would have Rosina—and her large fortune—for his own.

From its famous opening overture to its topsy-turvy conclusion, you’ll be cheering for “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!” to win the day.

The broadcasts are at 1:00 PM, unless otherwise noted, on consecutive Saturdays from August 31st through October 5th.
