About Gioachino Rossini
Artist Biography
Rossini’s rise to international stardom was startlingly quick. Born in Pesaro, Italy, in 1792, son of a village trumpeter and singer, he was initially apprenticed to a blacksmith, but at 14 his burgeoning talent won him a place at the Bologna Academy. He was only 18 when he received his first operatic commission, and in 1813 his operas Tancrediand the comic L’Italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algeria) established his reputation firmly outside Italy. The following years saw a torrent of operatic production, including such enduringly popular masterpieces as The Barber of Seville (1816), La Cenerentola (Cinderella, 1816) and La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie, 1817). What should have been the climax of his career followed in 1825 when he was appointed composer to Charles X of France, and his most ambitious opera, William Tell (1829), was a huge success in Paris. But the revolution of 1830 and the dethronement of the French King forced Rossini to return to Italy in 1836. There he fell into a profound depression, and during the following two decades the only major work he produced was his choral Stabat Mater (1841). In his seventies, however, Rossini began to compose again, creating what he called his “sins of old age”, including the impressive Petite messe solonelle (1863). He died in Paris in 1868, widely celebrated as a comedic genius. With time, however, Rossini’s serious operatic and particularly his religious work has also come to be seen as having major significance.
