The Barber of Rio (Italian: Il barbiere di Rio) is a 1996 Italian comedy film directed by Giovanni Veronesi. [1]
The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution is an opera buffa in two acts composed by Gioachino Rossini with an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The libretto was based on Pierre Beaumarchais's French comedy The Barber of Seville (1775). The première of Rossini's opera took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome, with designs by Angelo Toselli.
Diego Abatantuono is an Italian cinema and theatre actor, comedian and screenwriter, three-time winner of the Nastro d'Argento.
"Largo al factotum" is an aria (cavatina) from The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, sung at the first entrance of the title character, Figaro. The repeated "Figaro"s before the final patter section are an icon in popular culture of operatic singing. The term "factotum" refers to a general servant and comes from Latin where it literally means "do everything".
