About the Event
On Friday, April 27 San Diego Opera and the leadership committee for the 16th Annual Life Sciences LIVE – at the Opera is delighted to honor two remarkable couples: Peter and Olivia Farrell & Ivor and Colette Royston for their distinguished contributions to San Diego’s Biotech industry, as well as their magnificent leadership at San Diego Opera.
Through the combined efforts of many dedicated friends, Life Sciences LIVE – at the Opera remains the unparalleled opportunity to connect with hundreds of prominent executives, investors, and research scientists from San Diego’s Biotech, Life Science and Medical Device industries.
Pre-Opera Networking Reception - 6:00pm
Join The Farrells, The Roystons and our esteemed leadership committee for an elegant, private, Pre-Opera networking reception at THE US GRANT. You’ll enjoy dining on lavish hors d'oeuvres and wine while you mingle with your peers.
Rossini’s The Barber of Seville - 8:00pm
Figaro, Figaro, Fiiiiiiigaro!! He’s Seville’s “King of Lather and Foam”…and master of a few other tricks as well! Barber by day, matchmaker by night, Figaro puts his wiles to work as he aids the Count in wooing the beautiful Rosina. She’s such a catch that her sleazy guardian keeps her under lock and key with the intent of marrying her himself. But no challenge is too great for Figaro’s trickery. And, with laughter at every turn, the cunning Rosina is no slouch at manipulating things herself! This riotous musical comedy is one of the most popular in the operatic repertoire.
With whimsical designs based on the style of Belgian surrealist artist Magritte, you’ll see fluffy clouds, flying chairs, a barber pole and, of course, even raining bowler hats. It’s a visual and musical feast featuring Lucas Meachem as the conniving Figaro, Silvia Tro Santafé as the delectable Rosina, conductor Antonello Allemandi finding every note of Rossini’s happy score and Herbert Kellner directing this hilarious production.
The running time is approximately 3 hours and 6 minutes including one intermission.
