synopsis ACT IScene I — At night, Count Almaviva brings a band of musicians to serenade Rosina, ward of Dr. Bartolo, who keeps the girl confined in his house. When Rosina fails to answer his song, the count pays the players, and they leave. At the sound of Figaro’s voice, Almaviva steps away as the barber bounds in, boasting of his busy life as the neighborhood factotum. Figaro, though currently in Bartolo’s employ, encounters Almaviva and promises to help him win Rosina - for a suitable reward. No sooner has Bartolo left the house to arrange his own marriage with Rosina than Almaviva launches into a second serenade, calling himself “Lindoro,” a poor creature who can offer only love. Figaro suggests Almaviva disguise himself as a drunken soldier billeted to Bartolo’s house.

Scene 2 — Alone in the house, Rosina muses on the voice that has touched her heart and resolves to outwit Bartolo. Figaro joins her, but they leave on hearing footsteps. Bartolo enters with the music master, Don Basilio, who tells him Almaviva is a rival for Rosina’s hand and advises slandering the nobleman’s reputation. Bartolo agrees, but Figaro overhears them. Warning Rosina that Bartolo plans to marry her himself the very next day, the barber promises to deliver a note she has written to “Lindoro.” Rosina, alone with Bartolo, undergoes an interrogation, then listens to his boast that he is far too clever to be tricked. Berta, the housekeeper, answers violent knocking at the door, returning with Almaviva disguised as a drunken soldier in search of lodging. While arguing with Bartolo, Almaviva manages to slip a love letter to Rosina. But when Bartolo demands to see the letter, the girl substitutes a laundry list. Figaro dashes in to warn that their hubbub has attracted a crowd. Police arrive to silence the disturbance. As an officer is about to arrest him, Almaviva whispers his identity and is released. Rosina, Berta, Bartolo and Basilio are stupefied by everything that is happening.

ACT II Bartolo receives a young music teacher, “Don Alonso” (again Almaviva in disguise), who claims to be a substitute for the ailing Basilio. Rosina enters, recognizes her suitor and begins her singing lesson as Bartolo dozes in his chair. Figaro arrives to shave the doctor and manages to steal the key to the balcony window. Basilio now comes in, looking the picture of health; bribed by Almaviva, he feigns illness and departs. Figaro shaves Bartolo while Almaviva and Rosina plan their elopement that night. They are overheard by the doctor, who drives Figaro and Almaviva from the house and Rosina to her room, then sends again for Basilio. Berta, unnerved by all the confusion, complains she is going mad. Bartolo dispatches Basilio for a notary, then tricks Rosina into believing “Lindoro” is really a flunky of Almaviva. After a thunderstorm, Almaviva arrives with Figaro and climbs through a balcony window to abduct Rosina. At first the girl rebuffs “Lindoro,” but when he explains that he and Almaviva are one and the same, she falls into his arms. Figaro urges haste, but before they can leave, their ladder is taken away. Basilio enters with the notary. Though summoned to wed Rosina and Bartolo, the official marries her instead to Almaviva, who bribes Basilio. Rushing in too late, Bartolo finds the lovers already wed. When Almaviva allows him to keep Rosina’s dowry, the old man accepts the situation.

Gioacchino Rossini (Composer, also listed as Gioachino) was born in Pesaro, Italy, on February 29, 1792. Encouraged by his musician parents to explore his own musical gifts, Rossini performed as a boy soprano in the opera and was proficient on the harpsichord, violin, and piano. He later studied cello and composition at the Conservatory of Bologna. He was composing chamber works at the age of 16 and completed his first professional composition, the opera La Cambiale di Matrimonio, at age 18. Over the next four years he composed several

operas and was appointed music director of both opera houses in Naples. He then began to take on a string of commissions, including Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville), which has become the most popular comic opera in the world. Ironically, the composer was notoriously lazy. Regardless, he was able to compose with tremendous speed. Il Barbiere was dashed off in an incredible thirteen days; La Cenerentola (1917) in twenty-four. From the years 1810-1829, Rossini composed a total of thirty-nine operas, including Otello (1815) and Semiramide (1823). The composer then settled in Paris. Hired to direct a theater, he continued to write. The Paris Opera produced a number of his works, including Le Siege de Corinthe (1826) and his final opera, Guillaume Tell. But in 1829, at the age of 37 and at the height of his popularity, Rossini retired from composing. The only works he produced thereafter were for his own enjoyment, including two religious pieces, the Stabat Mater (1842) and the Petite Messe Solonnelle (1864). A wealthy man, Rossini chose to live the life of self-indulgent leisure that had always appealed to him. A celebrated gourmet and “bon vivant,” he turned his home in Paris into one of the most glittering salons in all of Europe. He died on February 13, 1868.

Cesare sterbini (Librettist, 1784 -1831) was an Italian writer and librettist. Possessing a deep knowledge of classical and contemporary culture, philosophy, linguistics, Sterbini enjoyed the reputation of a respected language expert, who in addition to Italian also possessed substantial knowledge of ancient Greek, Latin, German, and French. He is best known as the librettist for two operas by Gioacchino Rossini: Torvaldo e Dorliska (1815) and The Barber of Seville (1816). Other works include the librettos to the operas Il Contraccambio with music by Giacomo Cordella (1819), and Isaura and Ricciardo to the music of Francesco Basili (1820). An official in the Pontifical Administration, he also set poetry to music as an amateur. Not yet 50 years old, Sterbini died in 1831 in his hometown of Rome.

How many actors does it take to change a light bulb?

None. As long as there is a follow spot on them, who needs light bulbs?

A ctually, theatre spaces consume a fair amount of energy to light, heat and cool the lobbies, backstage, & auditoria areas. The School of Music, Theatre & Dance

(University Productions) is partnering with Planet Blue to reduce the energy costs of our performance halls.

Planet Blue’s electrical engineering expertise has enabled us to save energy by utilizing improved LED lighting technology while at the same time maintaining the beautiful atmosphere of our theatres. Their fine tuning of our heating and cooling systems has resulted in both energy savings and increased audience comfort.

Key activities include: Air handling unit (AHU) upgrades; scene shop lighting upgrades; upgrades to lighting in Power Center lobby, Mendelssohn auditorium & onstage striplights; weather stripping upgrades; HVAC fan scheduling; steam trap testing & replacement; and restroom water conservation.

Since 1974, Friends of Opera have supported the SMTD Department of Voice and its distinguished opera program, allowing opera students at the University of Michigan

to experience the greatest opportunities for study and performance. Gifts to the Friends of Opera provide discretionary support to the Department for programmatic needs such as covering the cost of opera scores for students performing in main stage productions, enriching the opera workshop program, and funding a cash prize to the winner of the annual Friends of Opera vocal competition. Gifts to the Friends of Opera Endowment provide funding for student scholarships and assist the Department in attracting top talent to its program.

The following opera enthusiasts have made a recent gift to the Friends of Opera. Their support makes a difference at the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, and also throughout the opera world, by ensuring that our students develop the skills, artistry, and experience they need to become the next generation of great opera singers. Thank you!
