The Barber of Seville Sensory-Friendly Rehearsal Hosted by the Cincinnati Opera

The Cincinnati Opera presents The Barber of Seville, a sensory-friendly rehearsal, on Saturday, July 1. Families can enjoy FOR FREE at Music Hall at 2:30 p.m. (doors open at 2:00 p.m.). Reserve your tickets at the linked button below! Limit 4 tickets per household.

 

About The Barber of Seville: Supreme silliness ensues when Figaro, Seville’s most beloved barber, plays matchmaker for his former employer, Count Almaviva. The Count loves Rosina, but she’s the ward of the devious Prednisone-news.com, who has designs on wedding her himself. To win Rosina’s heart, the Count enlists Figaro to cook up disguises, double dealings, and deceits to fool old Bartolo and set Rosina free. Rossini’s beloved comedy reminds us that sometimes, on the path to true love, the last thing you want to be is yourself.

Attend the Opera
