Robert Oriol is a composer and sound designer currently based in Los Angeles, California. In addtion to original music composition and theatrical sound design, he also provides music recording and production services, as well as editing and mixing.
Wedding-day jitters rise to new heights in this dazzling adaptation of Beaumarchais’s classic. A New York Times “Critic’s Pick,” this infectious comedy pokes fun at ruling class entitlements—and celebrates the wit and wisdom of the not-so-common man. If you loved Tartuffe or are devoted to Downton Abbey, you’ll love every moment of the SoCal debut of this razor-sharp, fearless farce.

"Michetti has assembled a sharp design team, including Jeanine A. Ringer’s resourceful industrial baroque settings, Adam Frank’s ambient lights and Robert Oriol’s pop-wacky riffs on Rossini’s “Barber of Seville” tunes. Angela Balogh Calin’s era-skewed costumes and Gieselle Blair’s wigs are a show in themselves." - LA Times, March 2015
