Gioachino Rossini
Largo al factotum, an aria from Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville, is sung by the title character Figaro during his first entrance. The aria, set in C major, is renowned for its rapid, patter-style delivery and tongue-twisting Italian superlatives. With a vocal range from D3 to G4, it challenges baritones with its high tessitura and fast-paced eighth notes in 6/8 meter. The term "factotum" refers to a general servant, fitting Figaro's role. This iconic piece is celebrated in popular culture and showcases the versatility and virtuosity required of a skilled baritone.
