Semiramide is a grand opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Gaetano Rossi, based on Voltaire's tragedy Semiramis. The opera is set in ancient Babylon and tells the story of Semiramide, a powerful queen haunted by her past and entangled in a web of love, ambition, and intrigue.
This edition presents the full libretto in English, making it accessible to a wider audience. Rossini's masterful score, combined with the dramatic storyline, makes "Semiramide" a cornerstone of the bel canto repertoire. The characters are brought to life through soaring arias and intricate ensembles, creating a truly unforgettable theatrical experience. This opera explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the destructive nature of unchecked power. "Semiramide" remains a relevant and compelling work, showcasing Rossini's genius at its finest.
