Figaro il barbiere
Figaro il barbiere is a chamber version of G. Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia.
Rossini's music, in the original reduction of the time, is joined by a narrator who, conversing with the audience, recounts the highlights and introduces the characters in the 'opera.
Elio
Born in one area of Milan, at an early age he moved to another area of Milan, but still in the suburbs. Then after many years he goes to live outside Milan, but not so much, where he still lives, but in the suburbs in the area where he went at an early age that I mentioned earlier. Milan, the city where Elio was born, is also the city where he goes to school, elementary, middle school, Einstein scientific high school, with Mangoni, university of engineering (polytechnic) finished calmly, civic school of music where he plays the transverse flute and also graduates from the conservatory G. Verdi in Milan, which however G. Verdi was born to Busseto but there is not even from make the comparison as a joke. In addition he plays to ball in Milanese, Fatima, and Corsico until the age of 18, then plays to baseball in the Ares, a sport he still enjoys. Military obligations fulfilled from 1986 to 1988, since 1979 he has been trying to make Elio e le Storie Tese´s dream come true.
