2005 - A bug's life ... barbiere di Siviglia
A crazy production from Theater Basel, where all the characters were inspired by insects or small animals. It was a lot of fun with very, very good collegues. We had many performances and always we're inventing something new. Something funny for us. I hope you'll enjoy this full recording of the opera. 
In time, I'll add more data about the production since, I am sure, all have to be recognized by name. Stay tuned ... but first enjoy the opera.
