Headlining the cast will be the Rosina of mezzo-soprano Hannah Ludwig, whose breakout performance in Teatro Nuovo’s La gazza ladra in 2019 earned her a “Young Artist of the year” nomination in Opernwelt Magazine. She is joined by the Figaro of bass Hans Tashjian and the Almaviva of tenor Nicholas Simpson. All three artists had been scheduled to perform the same composer’s Maometto Secondo in the 2020 season that had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Completing the cast are soprano Alina Tamborini as Berta, bass Daniel Fridley as Don Basilio, and baritones Scott Purcell and Kyle Oliver as Bartolo and Fiorello respectively.

It’s a big-voiced, high-energy cast, and that is part of Teatro Nuovo’s mission as well: to show that Rossinian virtuosity is not limited to light voices. These are singers who have been onstage in Verdi and Wagner, but fully capable of the brilliant filigree and rapid-fire declamation that make The Barber of Seville sparkle.
