5 Jul
It will open with what is possibly the most exciting among all the operatic overtures, Rossini’s final opera has helped to establish the foundations of the amazing genre of French grand opéra which has dominated the European stages throughout the mid of 19th century. The themeof opera is liberty, which has exemplified in the struggle against Austrian occupation led by the Swiss archer and patriot Guillaume Tell: on the opera’s most popular scene, Tell shoots an apple from the head of his son, a feat which inspires his countrymen to revoltaround. Well, Rossini’s score is one of his most terrific, and filled with glorious arias, choruses and ensembles, as those who have heard Antonio Pappano’s admired recording, which features Gerald Finley (Tell), John Osborn (Arnold) and Malin Byström (Mathilde) will know. The exhilarating young Italian director Damiano Michieletto will be going to make his debut with what promises to be one of the spectacular and thought-provoking productions.
