		A director faces the choice of which audience he wants to target, and it is no slight to suggest that David Sloss's staging of "The Barber of Seville" for West Bay Opera nods to a more contemporary style of farce, because the result is quite energetic and entertaining.
		The performances in "Barber" are a bit uneven, with some of the roles played considerably more broadly than others.
		Roderick Gomez is a charming Figaro, an unapologetic schemer who delights in his role as town fixer; Gomez does the best acting, though he seemed a bit out of breath (understandably) as he reached the end of the "Figaro" aria.
