Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The première (under the title Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution) took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome and though an infamous flop, The Barber of Seville has become a standard of comic opera repertory.
