Dashing Maltman saves Vienna Barber
mainThe British baritone is dashing in to replace Alessio Arduini in the title role tomorrow and Friday.
There will be role debuts too for Adriana Kucerová as Rosina und Carole Wilson as Marzellina.
Dashing, right?
It was on such short notice that there was not even time to put a shirt on.
Lol JB!
Ain’t no Marzellina in Barbiere — or even a Marcellina.
Um, yes there is… Read your Beaumarchais? (Rossini calls her “Berta”).
Marzellina in Barbiere is Figaro’s daughter, whom he mentions but whom we never see. The old governess’ name is Berta.
