Italian composer Gioachino Rossini gained fame at a young age for an impressive set of lively and high-flying comic operas that delight audiences to this day. In advance of our October 2019 presentation of his unique retelling of Cinderella, here is a brief montage of footage from our archives showcasing some of Rossini's most toe-tapping music from 3 of his most colorful, crowdpleasing masterpieces: The Wicked Adventures of Count Ory, Cinderella, and The Barber of Seville.
