Promo for "As One"
As One

The Barber of Seville
Feb. 14 & 16, 2020
You don’t have to a fan of the arts to know the classic proclamation, “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!” The phrase is original to the classic comedy The Barber of Seville, which is set in 1880s Seville, Spain. For the Opera Columbus production though, the show is set in 1990s Seville, Florida, and the evening includes a glitter beard contest, a live haircut and drinks severed by members of the cast.

To make things more interesting, masks will be handed out to guest upon entrance to add mystery and patron production participation.
