The Barber of Seville is a play written in 1773[1] by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais and first performed in 1775, being the first of his Figaro trilogy.[2] The play is about Count Almaviva, the eponymous barber from Seville, who sets out to win the heart of Rosine, a ward to the aging doctor Don Bartolo,[2] who keeps her locked up in his house and intends to marry her himself.[1] Almaviva disguises himself as a poor student named Lindoro to gain entry and upset Bartolo's plans with the help of his valet Figaro. In 1816, Gioachino Rossini used the play as a basis for his opera of the same name.[2]
Circa 1796,[note 1] the Theatre Troupe of Amiens was set to perform the play in the Le Marais district of Paris, but tensions rose between the actors, ending in two murders which the French Assassin Arno Dorian later investigated.[3]
