Largo al factotum – IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA Rossini – Garsington Opera

A passionate count enlists a local barber and jack-of-all-trades to help him woo and wed a quick-witted woman. In his first entrance, Figaro (Johannes Kammler) sings ‘Largo al Factotum,’ which translates to ‘Make way for the factotum,’ in an attempt to distract Dr. Bartolo, who is also interested in Rosina, while Count Almaviva tries to woo his beloved woman. Figaro boasts about himself, telling us how everyone comes to him as he is a brilliant barber of quality who can do everything.

The repeated 'Figaro's in this aria have become an iconic symbol in popular culture of operatic singing.
