The Aspen Opera Theater Center kicks off its season this Thursday with the first opera from the Beaumarchais trilogy, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. The comedic masterpiece introduces the audience to some of opera’s most beloved characters, including the sly and witty barber Figaro.
 
The Barber of Seville opens tomorrow, July 15, with a benefit performance at 8 pm and continues Saturday, July 17, and Monday, July 19, at 7 pm.

The opening night event will be this summer’s most glamorous benefit evening. Patrons of the black-tie 2010 Opera Benefit will enjoy a 5 pm cocktail hour at the home of Richard Edwards, followed by an elegant dinner at the Caribou Club. Opera-only tickets are also available, including an intermission reception featuring sparkling wine, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres.
