Reflection paper on the opera video recording: Barber of Seville by Rossini Barber of Seville.
This is a comic opera, with twists and turns, beautiful Bel Canto singing and very elaborate sets and costumes. However, the plot is somewhat close to what the world looked like during that time period. Please consider some of the social aspects of 18th Century Europe presented in the plot, and some of the main characters (with their flaws, prejudices, some sprinkles of misogyny, and lovable characteristics). Can you identify some of those interactions, societal issues and emotional responses in today’s world?
