Gioachino Rossini

Died
November 13, 1868

Genre

Influences


Numerous operas of Italian composer Gioacchino Antonio Rossini include The Barber of Seville (1816) and William Tell (1829) (see William Tell).

Le Barbier de Séville (1775), the comic play and best-known work of French writer Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, inspired Gioacchino Antonio Rossini to opera.

Gioachino Antonio Rossini gained fame for his 39 works and wrote many songs, some chamber music, piano pieces, and some sacred. He set new comic and serious standards and, still in his thirties, afterward retired on large scale at the height of his popularity.

“One can't judge Wagner's opera Lohengrin after a first hearing, and I certainly don't intend to hear it a second time.”
Gioacchino Rossini

“Tous les genres sont bons,
Hors le genre ennuyeux."
(All genres are good,
Except the boring one.”
Gioacchino Rossini

“Against a heart inflamed with love,
burning with unquenchable fire,
a ruthless tyrant, cruelly armed,
wages war, but all in vain.
From every attack a victor,
Love will always triumph.

- Rosina”
Gioachino Rossini, The Barber of Seville
