April composer focus: Rossini

We're going to have a look at Rossini this month. Here's a composer with a great sense of humour!

Top of the list is The William Tell Overture. We've listened to this a few times, but we'll follow up with literature as well: William Tell and The Apple and The Arrow.

I thought we could also have a look at his music of Cinderella and various versions of this story from around the world.

There is also the Barber of Seville (and we can't pass up the Looney Tunes performance with Bugs Bunny!)

And, of course, the Cat Duet!
