The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution (Italian: Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione [il barˈbjɛːre di siˈviʎʎa osˈsiːa liˈnuːtile prekautˈtsjoːne]) 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 première of Rossini's opera (under the title Almaviva, o sia L'inutile precauzione) took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome, with designs by Angelo Toselli.
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". After two hundred years, it remains a popular work.
A sevillai borbély (olaszul Il barbiere di Siviglia) Gioachino Rossini kétfelvonásos operája. Szövegkönyvét Cesare Sterbini írta Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais színműve nyomán. Ősbemutatójára Almaviva o sia l'inutile precauzione címmel 1816. február 20-án került sor a római Teatro Argentinában. A mű (legalábbis részleteinek) ismertsége túlmutat az operabarátok egyre szűkülő körén: például a világhírű Largo al factotum della città kezdetű ária (Figaro belépője) számos filmben és rajzfilmben felbukkan. Pesten 1820-ban mutatták be német nyelven, majd 1837-ben Szerdahelyi József fordításában magyarul is.
