Knoxville Opera presents Rossini's beloved comic opera, The Barber of Seville, Friday, February 20th at 7:30pm and Sunday, February 22nd at 2:30pm. Performances will be given at the magnificent Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville. Conductor, Joey Mechavich and baritone, Steven Condy both agree that "this is an opera that you'll know, even if you don't know that you know it." Some of its iconic melodies have been featured in Bugs Bunny Cartoons, Mrs. Doubtfire, episodes of Seinfeld, and Tom and Jerry cartoons.
