Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gioachino Rossini’s death

The first biography of Italian composer Rossini, best known for “The Barber of Seville,” was published in Paris when he was 31. Its author Stendhal saw the young man as a revolutionary who would conquer Europe like Napoleon before him — with the power of music.
He was right. Five years later in 1829, Rossini secured immortal fame with his last opera “William Tell’, which had its premiere at the Palais Garnier opera house in Paris. And though he stopped composing opera at the young age of 37, he continued to be a trailblazing composer until his death in the year of the Meiji Restoration. To commemorate 150 years since his death, this concert explores the appeal of Rossini, a genius who has also gone down in culinary history as a gourmet and talented cook. The concert features instrumental and vocal performances by young artists, and a talk by Akira Mizutani, head of Società Rossiniana Giapponese.
