"This dramma serio was written during Rossini’s miraculous 21st year (1813), when he produced in total an incredible four operas. The other three (the comedies, IL SIGNOR BRUSCHINO, L’ITALIANA IN ALGERI, plus the tragedy TANCREDI) indicate not only the fertility of his inventive powers but also the staggering quality of his youthful composition. Rossini fans will recognise the overture to AURELIANO, recycled in three other scores, most notably IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA!
The opera is set in 272 AD in the ancient city of Palmyra (modern Syria), where the queen, Zenobia and her lover, the Persian general, Arsace are defeated in battle by the Roman Emperor Aureliano. Aureliano agrees to free Arsace if Zenobia will give herself to him but she refuses. Eventually, he is won over by the lovers’ devotion, freeing them when they pledge loyalty to Rome. On the way to this happy ending, there is plenty of extreme emotion to fire-up some of Rossini’s most exciting vocal writing."
