PETER MATTEI FAZ "FIGARO" NO MET



That Actor Has a Pretty Good Voice


"Typically, when Rossini’s Figaro, the title character of “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” first appears and sings his famous aria the “Largo al factotum,” he is alone. Addressing the audience, he introduces himself. No mere barber, Figaro asserts that he is essential to the functioning of his town. Need a confidential note passed on? A scheme initiated? An eligible husband if you are a debutante; a new husband if you are a widow? Then I’m your man, Figaro says. Everyone needs him; everyone calls him. "
