Premiere of Rossini's Guillaume Tell at the Paris Opera

Rossini's final stage work, Guillaume Tell, premiered at the Paris Opera in 1829, marking his last opera.

Based on Schiller's play, this was Rossini's long-awaited French grand opera. Modern scholarship suggests circumstances, not personal choice, made it his last opera, as he continued writing vocal music afterward.
