It’s not for lack of American artists that we have not seen this opera in the US.

A narrow escape
Dec 7: Golden wings
The central figure in Cenerentola?

We think she did a LOT for Rossini!
Dec 5: An unstaged Tancredi duet
Imagine if these artists had performed this at the Metropolitan Opera!
Dec 4: Not only d’amore
Come for the soprano, stay for the tenors!
Dec 3: Rossini’s most mysterious opera
Ermione gets a performance it deserves.
Dec 2 : Inspired by Rossini’s father?
His father was a horn player which might have inspired Rossini to write this.
Dec 1: An overture like no other
In Rossini’s day people often became familiar with his works through piano adaptations played in a home. Czerny arranged this masterpiece but not likely for a performance in a private home! You may spot some pianists you recognize!
