Original Italian Lyrics:

Largo al factotum della città.
Presto a bottega che l'alba è già.
Ah, che bel vivere, che bel piacere
per un barbiere di qualità! di qualità!

Ah, bravo Figaro!
Bravo, bravissimo!
Fortunatissimo per verità!

Pronto a far tutto,
la notte e il giorno
sempre d'intorno in giro sta.
Miglior cuccagna per un barbiere,
vita più nobile, no, non si da.

Rasori e pettini
lancette e forbici,
al mio comando
tutto qui sta.
V'è la risorsa,
poi, del mestiere
colla donnetta... col cavaliere...

Tutti mi chiedono, tutti mi vogliono,
donne, ragazzi, vecchi, fanciulle:
Qua la parrucca... Presto la barba...
Qua la sanguigna...
Presto il biglietto...
Qua la parrucca, presto la barba,
Presto il biglietto, ehi!

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, ecc.
Ahimè, che furia!
Ahimè, che folla!
Uno alla volta, per carità!
Ehi, Figaro! Son qua.
Figaro qua, Figaro là,
Figaro su, Figaro giù.

Pronto prontissimo son come il fulmine:
sono il factotum della città.
Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, bravissimo;
a te fortuna non mancherà.

English Lyrics:
Make way for the factotum of the city,
Hurrying to his shop for it's already dawn.
Ah, what a fine life, what fine pleasure
For a barber of quality!

Ah, bravo Figaro!
Bravo, bravissimo!
Most fortunate indeed!

Ready to do everything
Night and day,
Always on the move.
A cushier fate for a barber,
A more noble life, is not to be had.

Razors and combs,
Lancets and scissors,
At my command
Everything's there.
Here are the tools
Of my trade
With the ladies...with the gentlemen...

Everyone asks for me, everyone wants me,
Ladies, young lads, old men, young girls:
Here is the wig... The beard is ready...
Here are the leeches...
The note is ready...
Here is the wig, the beard is ready,
The note is ready, hey!

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, etc.
Dear me, what frenzy!
Dear me, what a crowd!
One at a time, for pity's sake!
Hey, Figaro! I'm here.
Figaro here, Figaro there,
Figaro up, Figaro down.

Swifter and swifter, I'm like a thunderbolt:
I'm the factotum of the city.
Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, bravissimo,
You'll never lack for luck!

[TheHadsal]

the actor on the chair is amazing, his face expressions are priceless.

[mwcesto]

Everyone's talking about the husband and wife, but I think the other guy who looks so happy to be there and mouths the lyrics at the end is the real highlight.

[annaskdnrjfjf]

Mesmo depois de muitos anos sendo cantora lírica, não consigo contemplar essa perfeição sem lembrar de pica-pau

[luischagas]

Perfeito!!!o noivo parece que não estava na mesma vibe😂😂😂❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

[skollouarnbushcraft-survie]

As my grandfather used to say, when an art looks so easy to perform, the performer must be very talented.

[lauramarzola]

The others: you are italian you should undestand everything

What I heard:

[adria]

El detalle de André en recoger el perchero, eso es la humildad de un gran Maestro. Pendiente de que para todos sus integrantes todo les salga bien ❤

[dtulip]

If you get a chance to see Andre live..do so, you will not regret it, I bought tickets for my mum and dad's golden wedding anniversary (and for me :D) one of THE best nights out ever

[sportstoday]

People don't even realize how difficult is to sing like this, control your voice with so excellence and move around.i admire this

[denimjaketto]

When you finally see the guy she told you not to worry about

[jennycalabrano]

Jajajaja el novio se puso celoso al final 😄😄
Magnifica interpretacion de Andre Rieu, el cantante y su orquesta, espero ver más videos ❤👏👏👏

[lucmarien]

I love this, the singing, the music, and the humor !!! The guy in the chair is a violin player in this orchestra !!! Thank you Andre, i saw this many many times !!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😊😊 L.M.

🇲🇽 El novio está celoso, pero esto es parte de la presentación. Al principio entran al son de la marcha nupcial guiados por Andre Rieu. Luego se sientan al frente, y allí esperan a que entre en escena el cantante Morschi Franz (que es tenor, pero canta como barítono) interpretando al barbero Figaro (que hace de todo en la ciudad). En el contexto del trabajo original de Rossini, la novia representaría a Rosina (que está atrapada en la casa de Bartolo, el novio, que es su tutor y que quiere casarse con ella a toda costa). El novio puede ser Dom Bartolo, que es el tutor de Rosina, un doctor celoso y avaro. El chico que se va a cortar el pelo es probablemente el Conde de Almaviva, un joven rico que está enamorado de Rosina. En la Ópera del Barbero de Sevilla, Fígaro (el barbero) planea, junto con el Conde de Almaviva, invadir la casa de Dom Bartolo para declararse a Rosina. Aclarando: Este Figaro de Andre Rieu es diferente, es coqueto y llama la atención de la novia con su voz imponente, presumiendo que tiene mucha demanda en la ciudad. Rosina lo admira, sobre todo por sus aventuras con el Conde de Almaviva, mientras que a Dom Bartolo no le gusta nada lo que ve.

The guy doing the singing and acting is different level. The voice, the acting, the comedy timing and delivery is all spot on.

[JayAlves.G]

Vendo esse vídeo pela milésima vez. Amo André Rieu, uma verdadeira obra de arte.

[valdymunizvaldymuniz]

Cade os brasileiros que curtem essa obra super classica?

[ladybird]

Probably all the dislikes are from the husband's different accounts

[joegaito]

[adriandepablo]

Federica e la voce piú bella siccome un angelo!!

[scientificbabcock]

I love how the husband kept glancing at his wife like "hey, , you're here to marry me, remember?"
