Barber of Seville film

Описание: “Rossini’s Ghost” - 1996

In a kitchen in Italy in 1862, little Reliana helps her grandmother Rosalie make pasta sauce. As stream swirls magically through the kitchen, Rosalie argues with her oldest friend Martina and tells the story of an opera composer they once both knew. Soon, Reliana finds herself transported through time back to a theatre in Rome nearly 50 years earlier. She is invisible to everyone but the composer, Signor Rossini. She watches in alarm as one of the singers puts a curse on the production and everything begins to go wrong. Set in 1816, the year The Barber of Seville had its disastrous premiere, “Rossini's Ghost” is the story of three women who learn that friendship, like opera – or a great pasta sauce – requires nurturing, patience, and time.

I’m hoping me uploading this can help others who have had this movie on the tip of their tongue like I have for the past 15 years until today! I kept thinking “maybe it’s an old 90s kid version of phantom that’s rare” because I only remembered it being an opera disaster and the kitchen. This movie was released in 1996 and distributed to elementary and middle schools across the world in hopes of sparking intrigue in classical music. It definitely created a core memory in me, and even though I barely remember any of it I still ended up pursuing a career in music and have a fond love of classical music.
