He was the most popular composer of opera of his time. His father played the horn and the trumpet. His mother was an opera singer. When he was a little boy, he learned to play the piano and to sing. Because of his parents, Gioachino also learned all about opera. His most famous opera was The Barber of Seville. You can listen to his music in Bugs Bunny cartoons.
