Edit this paragraph of city history and historical evolution. Seville is a city that thrives on water and is alive and well because of water. There were residents living here in the 7th century BC. The fortress was built in 43 BC. It was successively occupied by the Romans and the Visigoths. It was invaded by the Arabs in 712 AD. In the 11th century AD, a Moorish tribe established an independent kingdom here, and most of the existing ancient buildings are relics of that period. In 1248, King Fernando III of Castile captured Seville and the city in the "War of Restoration". After driving out the Moors and making it the capital, the fortress gradually prospered.

Editor: The barber of Seville is a two-act comedy opera based on the satirical comedy of the same name by French writer Bauma Chase and libretto by Steppeni. . Rossini composed the music in one go in just 13 days, but its premiere was unsatisfactory. It was one of the most famous premiere failures in the history of Western European opera. The reasons for the failure were many. The Barber of Seville. Before Rossini, Paisiello, a veteran Italian composer at the time, had already composed Beaumarchais' comedy "The Barber of Seville" into an opera. In 1816, Rossini was hired by the manager of the theater company to create a new "Barber of Seville" based on the selection of the Papal Police. Paisiello had a high reputation among the audience, and Rossini anticipated trouble. He wrote to Paisiello beforehand, asking for his permission. Paisiello had already noticed Rossini's young rival, and wrote back both politely and sarcastically, saying that he was honored to approve the script chosen by the Roman authorities. Despite this, a considerable number of audiences still believed that Rossini was daring to re-create an opera that Paisiello had already composed, and they were even very angry. It was first performed at the Teatro Argentina in Rome on February 5, 1816. On the day of the premiere, whistles and boos arose one after another, and the audience could hardly hear what the actors were singing. Things improved the next day, and a week later the play was performed with great success. And together with Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro", it is called the double masterpiece of comedy. It soon became one of the most important performances in opera houses around the world, making this play an immortal masterpiece that will shine forever in the history of opera. In the play, Rossini gave full play to his lively and vivid orchestral sound, smooth and light melody, and straightforward and cheerful rhythm. At the same time, he delicately portrayed the pleasant plot full of irony. From the plot of the script, "The Marriage of Figaro" is the sequel to "The Barber of Seville". Before listening to Mozart's famous opera, the audience may wish to listen to Rossini's work first.
