The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The libretto was based on Pierre Beaumarchais's French comedy Le Barbier de Séville (1775). The premiere of Rossini's opera (under the title Almaviva, o sia L'inutile precauzione) took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome.
Rossini's Barber has proven to be one of the greatest masterpieces of comedy within music, and has been described as the opera buffa of all "opere buffe". The overture remains a popular stand-alone selection for orchestras, wind and brass bands.
Jari Villanueva has been writing arrangements for decades. A student of Bill Holcombe, he continues writing for different ensembles. Many of his arrangements can be found on Sheet Music Plus. He is a winner of the 2016 Arranging Contest.
