Calgary Opera is set to close its season with Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.”

The production, which is set to be performed at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium from April 18 – 24, 2026, will star Grisha Martirosyan, Siphokazi Molteno, John Tessier, Dion Mazerolle, and Adam Lau.

Daniela Musca conducts the production by Elizabeth Tarhan.

In a statement Stepkowski Tarhan said, “Humans have been laughing at the same things since recorded history — each other and ourselves. The word ‘comedy’ comes from the Greek komos, meaning revelry — and that spirit is at the heart of these performances. Whether you grew up on Buster Keaton, the Three stooges, Three’s Company or belly laughed during Guardians’ of the Galaxy, you will be delighted by this production. A sprinkling of practical jokes, a dusting of physical comedy and a dollop of Spanish inspired dance, are all icing on the delicious cake that is Rossini’s masterpiece.”
