Good evening, Don Basilio! | The Barber of Seville

In this quintet from Act 2 of Gioachino Rossini's comic opera The Barber of Seville (Il Barbiere di Siviglia) right on the heels of the triumph of Figaro stealing the balcony key • recitative: Figaro & T... Count Almaviva must join forces with his opponent, Dr. Bartolo, to seek a common goal -- making the music teacher Don Basilio gtfo.
Previous: • recitative: Figaro & T...
Next: • Scoundrels! Miscreants...
This is part of my project to sing every role in every song of The Barber of Seville by myself, you can check out the rest here: • The Barber of Seville

Are you going to record "Mi par d'esser con la testa" (finale act 1)?
Anyway, fantastic job!

[@TeamDogpit]

Thanks! Yeah I plan to do the whole opera, I've just been jumping around to my favorite parts first 😅

[@arcibaldo59]

@@TeamDogpit amazing job indeed! My favorite opera in a new dimension. Congratulations

@@arcibaldo59 thank you! I'm working on Cessa di piu resistere now, (lol czcams.com/users/shorts7uCMfrZUu2U ) but after that I'll finish the act one finale!

@@TeamDogpit The most difficult! So difficult that many times it is skipped!
Where are you from? And how do you fell with Italian (ancient Italian!)?

[@TeamDogpit]

@@arcibaldo59 I am an American but I speak Spanish fluently. I didn't know any Italian before I started this project but it has been fun to see how it is similar and different to Spanish!
Cessa di piu resistere is difficult but I have one advantage professional tenors don't -- I didn't just spend the last two hours singing the rest of the opera ha ha ha
