This composite project spanning half a year or so comprises a workshop series for opera singers to improve their acting skills, combined with a third-time performance of the theater company’s own operatic creation, Le Nozze del Barbiere di Siviglia (The Marriage of the Barber of Seville), a concert which would additionally function as a showcase for workshop results.

-Workshop series for opera singers to improve their acting skills
A series of workshop sessions was held with the aim of helping opera singers improve their acting skills, with young singers recruited from the public joining singers from the performance. The workshops provided an opportunity for participants to study specialized opera acting relevant to their actual professional practice.

This work, Le Nozze del Barbiere di Siviglia (The Marriage of the Barber of Seville), reconstructed Le Barbier de Séville ou la précaution inutil and Le Nozze di Figaro, with the two works recreated as a single opera.
