Watch baritone Joshua Hopkins get into character for The Barber of Seville

Published: April 17, 2015

The character of Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville is sharp, multi-talented, and more than faintly ridiculous. The Canadian Opera Company's upcoming production of Barber will find baritone Joshua Hopkins tackling the role in commedia dell'arte make-up and a gloriously asymmetrical vest.

Check out this video from the Toronto Star to see Hopkins transform into Figaro, through the magic of Anne-Marie Macloughlin's wig and make-up artistry.

The Canadian Opera Company's production of The Barber of Seville runs from April 17 to May 22.
