Of the many Rossini operas to have been long neglected in favour of the 'old chestnuts', Ermione has proved the most
rewarding in its recent revivals. This concise azione tragica is full of surprises: its choral overture, its proliferation
of tenors, and even the un-Rossinian seriousness of its ancient Greek subject matter. But Rossini's power as a composer
is stamped through its gripping ensembles, infectious choruses, and the tour de force soprano role of Ermione herself. Rossini
wrote much on a whim, but this piece was, as he confided to a biographer, for posterity.

Royal Festival Hall at 6pm: Opera Rara takes a fresh look at Rossini's
