Rossini in teatro e in cucina. «Crescendo» orchestrale e gastronomico

by Maia Andrea
Rossini in teatro e in cucina. «Crescendo» orchestrale e gastronomico

Gioachino Rossini, since his childhood, had two passions: music and food; and in many of his works appear set tables and characters who devote themselves to food. The biographical story of this great musician ranges from his frenetic activity as a composer to his decision to give up music and transform himself, partly due to the aggravation of his nervous illness, into the maitre de cuisine who prepared legendary banquets for his guests. This essay examines the presence of food in the works and life of the famous composer of masterpieces of melodrama, such as The Barber of Seville, La cenerentola, Moses and William Tell, which still triumph in theatres all over the world.
