内容简介

The Cambridge Companion to Rossini is a collection of specially commissioned essays on one of the most influential opera composers in the repertoire. The volume is divided into four parts, each exploring an important element of Rossini, his working practices, and his world: biography and reception; words and music; representative operas; and performance. Accessible chapters, by a team of specialists, chart the course of Rossini's life and career; reception; operatic texts; non-operatic works; and editing. Chapters also centre on individual works: Tancredi, Il barbiere di Siviglia, Semiramide, and Guillaume Tell.
