		Undaunted, Guillaume plods his way toward the gate, chanting the sequence to the low mass of requiem: "Dias irae, dias ila Solvet secum in favilla Teste David cum Sybilla..." The eerie resonance is obviously meant to _draw_ the attention toward the little entourage, rather than to escape it.
		And Guillaume is itching to be away, to be riding, to be moving for the coast and the relative safety of the channel.
		Guillaume recognizes the signal- Be prepared to run for it. Actually, it will be the Comte and his daughter, and Laurent and Marie- Ange, who will run....the other League members would have to draw their pistols and try to take out the musketeers quickly.

		According to tradition, Tell refused to salute the cap of Gessler, the despotic Austrian governor of his canton, Uri.
		The slaying is said to have sparked the uprising of the Swiss against their Austrian rulers, resulting in the unification and independence of the Swiss nation.
		The first written version of the legend of William Tell appeared in a 15th-century ballad; it later served as the basis for the famous drama Wilhelm Tell (1804) by the German playwright Friedrich von Schiller and for the opera Guillaume Tell (1829) by the Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini.

	William Tell Overture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The French king named Rossini to the Legion of Honor and offered a contract awarding Rossini a lifetime pension (which the shrewd composer worded in such a way that when the king was eventually deposed, the state obligation to pay the pension remained in force).
		Guillaume Tell (‘William Tell’), which premiered in Paris in 1829, could very well hold the record for the most highly anticipated opera of all time.
		With a wealth of material, the opera was meant to appeal to the French penchant for lavish and elaborate theater, though the result clearly overwhelmed its Parisian audiences.

		Tell’s arrest is ordered, but the armed Swiss, who have risen against Austria, approach.
		"Guillaume Tell" is the only opera by an Italian of which it can be said that the overture has gained world-wide fame, and justly so, white the opera itself is so rarely heard that it may almost be said to have passed out of the repertoire.
		At the initial performance of "Guillaume Tell" in Paris, there was no indication that the opera was not destined to remain for many years in the repertoire.

		The opera was acclaimed by musicians and critics as a masterpiece but less warmly received by the public, which found it excessively long and cold.
		After William Tell Rossini wrote no more operas, although he was only 37 and lived another 40 years.
		Some have ascribed it to dislike of the rising dominance of German composer Giacomo Meyerbeer in the Paris opera world; others to Rossini’s resentment at the French government’s efforts to cancel his contract after a revolution in 1830 toppled Charles X. Still others believe progressive ill health was involved, and a few assume laziness.

		In this GUILLAUME TELL, he looked trimmer than I remember, and acted with greater animation, if with no specific sense of character.

	WeaverWeb: Field Notes of a Rookie Opera Lover
		It's hard to believe that until this week in San Francisco, "Guillaume Tell" hadn't been performed in this country in 90 years.
		Other singers of note were Janet Williams as Tell's son (we saw her earlier as the wife in Italiana), a tiny, pretty, animated young fl woman with a wonderful clear high soprano; and Jorge Lopez-Yañez, who sang the fisherman with surprisingvigor and a beautiful high tenor register.
		I thought their playing markedly superior to the two previous nights, and while that might be partly attributed to the superior score of Tell over Italiana or Barbiere, I think it's also clear that Runnicles has already established a winning relationship with these players.

		Rossini’s final opera, Guglielmo Tell, was written in 1829 for the Academie Royale de Musique – and therefore called Guillaume Tell – with the intent to conquer the Paris opera scene.
		Rossini had aspired to a ten-year contract to produce operas in Paris, composed specifically for a French audience – as opposed to his previous productions that were merely translations of Italian operas written for Naples.
		Guillaume Tell had already forced him to revamp his style considerably to conform to French taste and new composers were assuming the Parisian limelight while he was stalled.
