Semiramide

Album by Gioachino Rossini & Alexandrina Pendatchanska & Marianna Pizzolato & Lorenzo Regazzo & Antonino Fogliani

Semiramide is an opera seria in two acts by Gioachino Rossini that premiered in 1823. A late example of Rossini's bel canto style, it features virtuosic vocal writing, demanding ensemble passages and dramatic orchestral colouring, and it represents his final major contribution to the Italian opera seria tradition before he moved on from staged opera.
