Pacific Opera Project (POP) returns to The Ford for a one-night-only performance of The Barber of Seville on Friday, August 25, 2023 at 8:00 p.m. In a modern-day, accessible spin on Rossini’s beloved comedic classic, the production is set in Hollywood where pop princess Rosina (mezzo-soprano Meagan Martin) is fresh out of rehab after a messy breakup and public meltdown. Baritone Johnathan McCullough makes his POP debut as Figaro, a stylist to the stars. Sung in Italian with English supertitles, the plot thickens with characters such as Don Basilio, an aging rock legend, turned celebrity voice coach; Hollywood heartthrob Count Almaviva; and Rosina’s overbearing producer and manager, Dr. Bartolo.
