Heard on Radio 3
Jul. 26th, 2016 12:12 pmSwitched on the radio last night and it was the interval of The Barber of Seville from the Proms. The announcer said that the opera was first performed two hundred years ago, just before Rossini's 6th birthday.
Rossini was born 29th February 1792. The Barber of Seville was first performed 20th February 1816. I make that nine days before his 5th birthday.
