The Teatro Regio Torino Orchestra and Chorus perform a concert version of Rossini’s opera William Tell under the direction of Gianandrea Noseda. The concert will feature more than 200 orchestra and chorus members from Italy’s famous opera house in Turin.
William Tell was Rossini’s final opera, despite the fact that the composer lived for nearly 40 more years. Recognized immediately from its famous, galloping overture, William Tell dramatizes the life of the Swiss folk hero whose expert marksmanship with a crossbow is the stuff of legends. This concert version introduces four operatic soloists to local audiences alongside the 200-member orchestra and chorus of the Royal Theatre of Turin, one of the most important opera houses in Italy.
Featuring
Fabio Maria Capitanucci, baritone William Tell
Angela Meade, soprano Matilde
John Osborn, tenor Arnold Melcthal
Aleksandr Vinogradov, bass Gualtiero
