π Overview:
βLet us assume that Switzerland is truly a paradise. The music hereto was written long ago. We have merely forgotten it.β (Daniel Schmid) This is the material from which the most Swiss of all operas is made: the legendary Wilhelm Tell β a Swiss hero: straightforward, a primus inter pares of the indomitable freedom fighters, a good shot, surefire. A myth that becomes a poetic playground: nature in turmoil, the struggle for freedom and forbidden love. A legendary overture at a gallop with an iconic post horn motif β all this and much more in the thirty-seventh and last opera by Rossini.
