In the period 1810–1823, he wrote 34 operas for the Italian stage that were performed in Venice, Milan, Ferrara, Naples and elsewhere this productivity necessitated an almost formulaic approach for some components (such as overtures) and a certain amount of self-borrowing. In 1815 he was engaged to write operas and manage theatres in Naples. ![]() His first opera was performed in Venice in 1810 when he was 18 years old. He set new standards for both comic and serious opera before retiring from large-scale composition while still in his thirties, at the height of his popularity.īorn in Pesaro to parents who were both musicians (his father a trumpeter, his mother a singer), Rossini began to compose by the age of twelve and was educated at music school in Bologna.

Diversity among pro artists is a much bigger issue than we can discuss here - it goes deep into the availability of art education and socioeconomic backgrounds and deep societal issues. This is a tricky conversation sometimes, just like the conversation around cultural appropriation, but I think the growing visibility of diversity in artists can only be a good thing."Rossini" redirects here. The point of having greater diversity in media is not to say that certain people can’t do certain jobs - it’s about making sure more artists have the opportunity to do them.

That said, I know there’s a fear of being pigeonholed into doing only commissions that deal with a certain group if you are a member of that group-more so if that group has been marginalized and discriminated against. I always feel like a creepster when trying to figure it out from social media. YES! As an AD I really wish it was easier to tell from people’s websites what heritage/gender/etc they are.
