The last of Rossini's 39 operas was written for the Paris Opera in 1829. Based on Schiller's Wilhelm Tell, it recounts the struggle for Swiss independence from Austrian rule in the 13th century, where individual heroism is complemented by the communal spirit of the people and the calm beauty of the mountains.
