Operatic baritone sings Rossini's 'Barber of Seville' while doing a cut-throat shave on himself

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, oh no...

Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville features one of the most iconic baritone arias of all, 'Largo al factotum', a bombastic, joyous sing-song, full of showy high notes and fiendish tongue-twister lyrics. It's a bit of a classic.

Not content with simply belting out this virtuosic ditty, American baritone Lucas Meachem took to his bathroom to fully recreate a scene worthy of the stage, complete with cut-throat razor.

Lucas clearly likes to do things his way - here he is with a multi-tracked reading of the Christmas classic, Carol of the Bells.
