Guillaume Tell, first performed in Paris in 1829, was Rossini’s grandest opera and also his last. Based on Friedich Schiller's epic play Wilhelm Tell, it tells of heroic resistance to Austrian oppression in 14th-century Switzerland. 'The piece is an immerse architectural challenge for a conductor,' says Antonio Pappano, 'but I was just swept off my feet by its sheer energy and daring.'
