	William Tell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Tell (German Wilhelm Tell, French Guillaume Tell, Italian Guglielmo Tell) was a legendary hero of disputed historical authenticity who is said to have lived in the Canton of Uri in Switzerland in the early 14th century.
		William Tell from Bürglen was known as an expert marksman with the crossbow.
		Max Frisch in his "William Tell for Schools" deconstructed the legend, portraying the bailiff as a well-meaning administrator suffering from being placed in a barbaric back-corner of the empire, while Tell is a simpleton who stumbles into his adventure by a series of misunderstandings.

	OPERA: 'WILLIAM TELL' IN SAN ANTONIO - New York Times
		The festival's most ambitious undertaking, and perhaps its most significant one, is its own production of Rossini's ''William Tell.'' This is apparently the first major staging in the United States of Rossini's last opera since the Metropolitan Opera last did it, in 1931.
		Based on Schiller's play, ''William Tell'' is a sprawling grand-opera fresco of heroic patriotism, saintly martyrdom, fulminating villainy and a love affair that crosses boundaries of nation and class, all set against the pageant of Swiss folklore and national pride.
		Of the women, Harolyn Blackwell made a nice impression in the soprano role of Tell's son, and Rosalind Elias was effective as Tell's wife.

	Opera Orchestra of New York
		"William Tell," performed here in its original French version ("Guillaume Tell"), was the final opera by Rossini, first performed at the Paris Opera in 1829, when he was just 37 and about to begin a long and lazy retirement.
		It is the opera with which she introduced her efforts to Carnegie Hall, performing the opus in Italian as Guglielmo Tell, on March 13, 1972, with Louis Quilico, Klara Barlow, and two tenors, Jerome LoMonaco and Mallory Walker, substituting for Nicolai Gedda, who had cancelled.
		By the time Tell launched “Tout change et grandit,” the surprisingly brief closing tableau, handing Wagner the template for his Rheingold finale (“Abendlich strahlt”) on a radiant silver platter, the sheer grandeur of Guillaume Tell was quite as apparent as the vitality and high competence of OONY’s performance.

		Rossini’s final opera, William Tell, is an epic six-hour musical setting of Schiller’s tale of the celebrated Swiss hero, William Tell, who fought for Swiss independence from the Hapsburgs during the 14 th century.
