	Gioacchino Rossini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Through the friendly interposition of the Marquis Cavalli, his first opera, La Cambiale di Matrimonio, was produced at Venice when he was a youth of eighteen.
		I wrote the overture of the Gazza Ladra the day before the opening night under the roof of the Scala Theatre, where I had been imprisoned by the director and secured by four stagehands.
		La Cenerentola (Cinderella, or La bontà in trionfo) - 1817

		Five years later, La gazza ladra was his 22nd opera and his 61st composition.
		La gazza ladra, or The Thieving Magpie, is one of the last of his "comic" works--and its tale is one that is more tragic than humorous.
		It was based on a true incident, well-known to Rossini's audiences, in which a French servant girl was executed as a thief, only to be exonerated after her death when it was discovered a magpie had stolen the items she had been accused of taking.

	Rossini: La Gazza Ladra Overture - Excerpt 1
		Gioachino Rossini's Overture to his opera La Gazza Ladra (translated into English, loosely, as "The Thieving Magpie") is a difficult but rewarding piece for the bass trombonist.
		Rossini wrote the opera for a small opera house which had a small pit for the orchestra, hence, he scored the opera for a small orchestra which includes a single trombone.
		La Gazza Ladra suffers from having many poor and mangled editions of the work available.

		The first disc starts off with an intro of Rossini's 'La Gazza Ladra' that segues into one of the bands best loved tracks, Slainte Mhath and then visits a varied collection of hits that are taken from different concerts.
		La Gazza Ladra is a two-disc set featuring many fabulous songs from Fish-era Marillion, and a second disc sporting a complete, uninterrupted performance of the entire album, Misplaced Childhood.
		The lilting introduction of La Gaza Ladra transports you into the concert hall and takes you on a journey trhought the highlights of Marillions' Fish years.

		All the elements are familiar: a chorus of chattering villagers praising the beauty and goodness of a favored member of the community, a young lady in love who expresses her feelings of joy through florid melodies, a handsome young man whom she admires and who loves her in return, and a worried father.
		We seem to be in the world of Rossini's La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) and Bellini's La sonnambula (The Sleepwalker), the world of opera semiseria or semi-serious opera.
		So, in La gazza ladra we have the return of both Ninetta's father (a soldier who has deserted his regiment) and of her beloved Giannetto (son of her master); in La sonnambula it is the arrival of Count Rodolfo that changes Amina's innocent sleepwalking into a serious threat to the tranquility of all their lives.

	Saint Louis Symphony
		Stendahl, the French writer who would soon publish his famous biography of the composer, wrote to an acquaintance that “Rossini has done five operas that he always copies; La gazza ladra is an attempt to break out of the circle.” Perhaps because of this, the composer lavished particular care on La gazza ladra.
		Indeed, La gazza ladra boasts perhaps the finest of Rossini’s operatic preludes, one that is typical of such pieces and yet distinctive.
		Like virtually all of the composer’s overtures, it opens with a broad introduction, though the pronounced martial character of this section, emphasized by the dramatic snare drum rolls that frame it, is unusual and striking.

		The Thieving Magpie was the second of three operas Rossini completed in 1817, and it received its first performance in May at La Scala, Milan.
		The opera may be described as a melodrama cum comedy, and the long cast list includes a talking magpie, whose utterances initiate the plot whereby a serving girl is accused of stealing a silver spoon and whose cause isn't helped by her father being accused, in his turn, of desertion from the army.

		It was during this period that he composed Otello, La Gazza Ladra, and The Barber of Seville.
		It includes the stock figures of a lecherous old mayor and a falsely accused maiden, in the clutches of despair, placed in jeopardy by a pet magpie, whose mischievous thievery of household effects makes it the real culprit.

	Rossini - La Gazza Ladra / Bartoletti, Cotrubas, Condo, Cologne Opera : DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This opera is known as ´The Thieving Magpie´ in English, and they probably should have used that title for this edition, since ´La Gazza Ladra´ sounds to English speakers like a stomach ailment.
		The brilliant, rousing overture is well-known; Kubrick used it to great effect in one of the fight scenes in ´A Clockwork Orange.´; The opera itself, however, is little-known and rarely-performed, which is why this German television production from the eighties may be the only chance you´ll get to see it in full staging.
		Nevertheless, this disk makes for an entertaining three hours and will be worth its modest price to those who like to delve into the farther corners of the operatic repertoire.

	Rossini - Thieving Magpie Overture
		La Gazza Ladra, aka Diebische Elster, aka Thieving Magpie is an example of a phrase that is difficult because the 3rd finger, once pushed down, is hard to lift back up, especially if the 2nd and 4th fingers are held still.
		Lesson: when lifting the 3rd finger in La Gazza Ladra, allow the 2nd finger to lift freely as well.
		LA GAZA seems to defy any sensible possibilities even when utilizing 7th harmonics.

		For an aging friend of the revolution it seems time to hang up the combat boots and let the new generation have their turn.
		Told from the point of view of the common people Jean Renoir's film traces the progress of the French Revolution from the fall of the Bastille to the king's abandonment of his palace in 1792.
		Once upon a time there was a poor little rich French girl who dreamed of having a once-in-a-lifetime affair and although she was only 14 she had a helluva lot more chutzpah than any fairy tale character.

		Yes, second-hand; because the personal statement is made via quotes from the past, by alluding to the classics, by a limitless new eclecticism.
		This is the essence of Stravinsky's neoclassicism: he is now the great eclectic, the Thieving Magpie, "La Gazza Ladra", unashamedly borrowing and stealing from every musical museum.
		Or in LE BAISER DE LA FEE, where the same machinations are wrought upon Tchaikovsky's music.

		La Donna del lago, followed by Il Barbiere di Siviglia and L’italiana in Algieri.
		I’d be remiss if I make no mention of the fine contribution of Richard Bradshaw and the COC Orchestra.
		Bradshaw has a strong affinity for Rossini and it showed — the conducting and playing of the overtures from La gazza ladra, La scala di seta and Semiramide were remarkable for their incisiveness, brio and a sense of fun.

		Overtures: La scala di sieta; Il Signor Bruschino; L'Italiana in Algeri; Il barbiere di Siviglia; La gazza ladra; Semiramide; Guillaume Tell
		The pompous march from La gazza ladra is especially good, its mocking baroque-style double-dotting hugely effective.
		There's also much witty solo playing from the LCP winds in La scala di sieta, and Norrington's timing perfectly catches those bow-on-music-stand effects in Il Signor Bruschino.

	Roderic Dunnett visits Garsington Opera for a quadruple bill
		Steuart Bedford nursed each of the key ensembles to good effect; interestingly, I found the Garsington sound first-rate -- by no means always the case -- and better balanced from the cheaper seats at the back : possibly a useful tip.
		Majella Cullagh played the heroine -- part Leonora (her Jacobin father is wrongfully accused), part Florestan (she herself faces unjust execution) and mezzo-soprano Nerys Jones grasped the show by the nettle as the vivacious, cheeky trousers-role Pippo.
		The Magpie's undoubted charm was capped by one of the nicest closing directorial touches by Daniel Slater, the silent Magpie's final swoop of triumph, with the enchanting, manipulative Hannah Richards (doubling in magpie fl-and-white with Phoebe Ruscombe-King) celebrating a happy outcome with a delicious swoop.

	Classical Net Review - Rossini - Opera Overtures Arranged for Wind Ensemble
		It is definitely a most enjoyable project and I must say that these evergreen works translate extremely well to the wind medium, lending them a certain colour and character that could be missed by the full orchestra.
		The transcriptions sometimes lop off parts of the originals as is the case in 'L'Italiana in Algeri' and 'La Gazza Ladra'.
		Lovers of the originals will no doubt prefer the grander and more varied orchestrations that remain classics of the genre but those who are willing to experience a different approach to these wonderful overtures will no doubt warm to these charismatic and undeniably fresh performances by the witty Consortium Classicum.
