  Tancredi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tancredi is an opera in two acts by composer Gioacchino Rossini and librettist Luigi Lechi, based on Voltaire's play Tancrède (1759).
Not only is Syracuse exhausted by external war, but internal war as well; the soldier Tancredi and his family have been stripped of their estates and inheritances, and he himself has been banished since his youth.
Tancredi, who has returned incognito and offered his service to Argirio, challenges Orbazzano to a duel and kills him in defence of Amenaide's honor and life (even though he believes she had betrayed him with the letter).

Where Piet Mondrian used the square as a unit with which to express a notion of space and infinity, Tancredi, who saw his aims as parallel to those of Mondrian, seized on the point as his module.
Tancredi’s ideas about infinite space and the use of the point within it were developed by 1951, when he settled in Venice.
Density of form and color increases toward the center of the composition, which consequently appears to bulge forward from the corners, illustrating Tancredi’s view of space as curved.

It was on Tancredi (Tancred), Rossini's first great "Opera seria", that his early fame was based - together with L'Italiana in Algeri (The Italian in Algiers), which was first performed only three months later.
Following the first performance of Tancredi on 6 February 1813 at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, it became one of the composer's most popular works and soon came to be produced all over the world.
In 1994 the Unter den Linden state opera in Berlin performed both versions, the counter tenor Jochen Kowalski portraying the Tancredi of the 'tragic' Ferrara score while Kathleen Kuhlmann sang this role in the original Venetian, happy-ending version.

Seven of the tunes are Tancredi's, including two tributes to his favorite Nick at Nite TV show, Bewitched: one is the familiar theme, the other, "A Cha-Cha for Endora," is much sweeter than she ever was.
Melodies are tight rather than soaring, typically chromatic in the familiar Latin tradition, with the major interest generated by the interplay among the band, especially on the smoking tenor/alto exchange on "Hocus Pocus." Things rarely slow down on this release, and "Callejeando" fades up like a polyrhythmic street parade.
The last track, "Olimar," is the only explicitly Uruguayan tune, atmospheric and distinctive, with Tancredi playing repique and chico drums along with piano for a very different sound and rhythm.
