Monday Music: The Barber of Seville (a la Bugs Bunny)

This week, I wanted something light-hearted and fun. Here's a classic Looney Tunes production that demonstrates one of the ways my generation was introduced to classical music. In addition to the antics, I love the realistic scene of the orchestra warm-up at the beginning. It conveys the glad anticipation of good theater. Then comes the guns, slapstick, and hilarity as Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd provide new lyrics to Rossini's comic opera.
