The Barber of Seville - Una voce poco fa

Gioachino Antonio Rossini (29 February 1792 – 13 November 1868) was an Italian composer who wrote 39 operas as well as sacred music, chamber music, songs, and some instrumental and piano pieces. His best-known operas include the Italian comedies Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) and La Cenerentola and the French-language epics Moïse et Pharaon and Guillaume Tell. A tendency for inspired, song-like melodies is evident throughout his scores, which led to the nickname "The Italian Mozart". Until his retirement in 1829, Rossini had been the most popular opera composer in history. [source from Wikipedia]

This is a comic opera composed by the Italian composer Rossini. The libretto comes from the work of a French playwright, Beaumarchais, which describes the story of Figaro, the Barber of Seville, assisting Count Almaviva in winning the love of Rosina. The overture is agevole and perfectly echoes the plot.
