STEVE DUNKELBERGER: STUBBLE TIME >>>

Tacoma Opera is concluding its regular season with the uber funny work by Gioacchino Rossini, "The Barber of Seville."

This voice-filled comedies tells the tale of Figaro, a famed barber, who learned a bit too much information about his customers as they relax under his razor.
He then uses this information to unite a pair of young lovers by using the rumors and confessions he learned from his clients.

Featuring Morgan Smith as Figaro, with Marana Avant, Jessica Robins Milanese, Ross Hauck, and Wesley Rogers alternating as Rosina and Count Almaviva, this is a talent-packed show. The show will be sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Performances are Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, March 9 at 2 p.m. at the Pantages Theater, Tacoma. Tickets are $24 to $78 and are available from Tacoma Opera at (253) 627-7789, the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts at (253) 591-5894, or online at www.tacomaopera.com.
