Hermann Prey - Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia: Largo al Factotum (Excerpt)

Watch Hermann Prey sing Figaro’s famous entrance aria “Largo al factotum” from Rossini’s 'Il barbiere di Siviglia', accompanied by the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala under Claudio Abbado. This performance is taken from Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s acclaimed 1972 film adaptation of Rossini’s comic opera, based on his Salzburg staging and featuring the Chorus and Orchestra of La Scala, Milan. Watch the full opera on our streaming service STAGE+: https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSQ3IC8 For more than two centuries, Rossini's 1816 adaptation of Beaumarchais's The Barber of Seville has delighted, amused and astonished audiences around the world. It's a true comic classic and in Figaro, its witty, endlessly resourceful title character, Rossini gave opera one of its most engaging and charismatic heroes. Fittingly, this 1972 film version united two equally innovative and energetic young talents – the French director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle and conductor Claudio Abbado – in an exuberant, handsome-looking production based on Ponnelle's classic Salzburg staging, and recorded using the forces of La Scala, Milan. Hermann Prey, Teresa Berganza and Luigi Alva all star in this sparkling account of the supreme bel canto comedy.
