This Finnish poster advertises a 1985 production of Rossini’s comic opera The Barber of Seville that premiered in Rome in 1816. The simple, arresting image emphasizes the deceit, bribery, and disguise that dominate this tale, and the role of the canny local barber, Figaro, in bringing the young lovers together.
