Mala’s role debut as Rosina in The Barber of Seville by Rossini at Opera Mississippi this spring 2027. Rossini’s The Barber of Seville (Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione) is one of opera’s great comic masterpieces: fast, fizzy, and full of irresistible charm. Bursting with sparkling melodies, clever disguises, and breathless comic timing, this beloved opera follows the quick-witted barber Figaro as he helps Count Almaviva win the heart of the spirited Rosina. Standing in their way is the blustering Dr. Bartolo, whose plans unravel in a whirlwind of schemes, serenades, and delicious confusion.
