The Barber of Seville 7.30pm. Box office: 01962 840440 or online at www.theatre-royal-winchester.co.uk. Swansea City Opera makes a welcome return with a production of Rossini's ever-popular and most famous comic opera, The Barber of Seville, as part of its national tour. SCO is known for its sparkling performances of comic opera and the Barber will be no exception. Set in Seville in the late 18th Century, a young Spanish nobleman, Count Almaviva, is in love with the beautiful and rich Rosina, ward of the lecherous Doctor Bartolo, who plans his own marriage to her. Along comes the meddling Figaro, the town barber, and suddenly we have all the ingredients for confusion and mayhem...but will there be a happy ending? Beautifully staged in English with charming traditional 18th century costume and performed by some of the finest singers and orchestral players in the country, The Barber of Seville makes for a rollicking evening's entertainment, full of theatrical wit and humour and a feast for the eyes and ears. Tickets: Full: £ 20.00 Concessions: £ 18.00 Friends: £ 17.50
