Gioachino Antonio Rossini (1792 - 1868)

"The Barber of Seville", or "The Useless Precaution" ("Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L'inutile precauzione") is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto (based on Beaumarchais's comedy Le Barbier de Séville) by Cesare Sterbini.

The overture, first written for "Aureliano in Palmira", is a famous example of Rossini's characteristic Italian style.

The première (under the title Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution) took place on February 20, 1816, at the Teatro Argentina, Rome.

  • @rushtongarth no it's actually a elephant

  • @rushtongarth lol, i think so...

  • Bugs Bunny xD

  • Is that a Segway at 4:03 ?

  • @OriginOfStarlight How could that be? His music is in the media (movies, school plays we are "forced" to see in Elementary school, etc... so fuck off!) P.S. This music is 200 years old, roughly, so it's not everyone's belt you fucktard. So, don't discriminate.

  • I find this music is hilarious because Rossini was a procrasinator and his music comes from just that. Google told me so.

  • Happy Birthday, Mr. Rossini. You composed one of the catchiest licks of all time... next to several parts of "Sleigh Ride".

  • Happy B-day, Rossini!

  • It's quite sad if you didn't know Rossini before seeing Google's doodle.
