The Des Moines Metro Opera’s 2017 Opera Iowa Educational Touring Troupe is pleased to bring a perfect show for children and families to Herrick Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 17, 2017.

Disguises and false identities abound as men young and old vie for the hand of the beautiful Rosina in one of the funniest, most familiar, and energetic operas ever composed!

Rossini’s The Barber of Seville is a delightful romp that centers on “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro,” a scheming barber and jack-of-all-trades, who plots with Count Almaviva to release Bartolo’s ward from her gilded cage. From the first notes of one of the world’s most famous overtures to the final curtain, your heart will be racing— but not for the exit!

Opera Iowa is the state's largest and most expansive program in arts education, and one of the most innovative programs of its kind.
