From the Theatre Schwetzingen,
A mixture of saucy elegance, sizzling wittiness, cheeky orchestration and also some touching lyricism.

Schwetzingen is a tiny town near Heidelberg which has a famous palace with magnificent gardens, not unlike those at Versailles. The Schwetzingen Festival is held every Spring in the palace and commissions a small-scale opera for the palace’s exquisite Rococo theatre, built in 1752. Il Signor Bruschino is the last of the five one-act operas - farsa giocosa - in which the teenage Rossini first demonstrated his operatic genius. Among the ‘peculiarities’ which caused a sensation at its premiere 1813, was the daring experiment in search of new tonal effects occurring in the overture, during which the second violins are required to tap their bows on their music stands.
