Rossini's WILLIAM TELL - Wichita Grand Opera - COMPLETE 

What a satisfying performance of an epic classic that most major opera companies don't dare attempt! Wichita Opera put together an excellent cast, vocally and visually up to these demanding roles and a dedicated ensemble of chorus and dancers and a mise en scene to back them up. Rossini honorably served! Bravi tutti!

The orchestra and soloists are absolutely amazing! Michael Spyres in my favorite tenor. How I would love to study voice with him! Hopefully if he comes to Vienna when I'm there, I can schedule and audition with him 😊

Un bel finale, che onora questo cast

Complimenti di cuore al regista voto 110 e lode x regia scene e costumi e bravi anche gli attori-:cantanti interpreti ❤❤❤❤

I didn’t know this opera was french. Wow !

Surprisingly good for an opera company in Kansas. We don't have great opera singer masters with us today, so this production is on par with today's opera quality. Lucas Meacham sung the role well. Excellent voice and he handled the songs with the wide range very well. The final solo number by Meacham was accurate and powerful and supported by a great cast- Four stars!!!

Fascinant, magnifique, prodigieux chef-d'oeuvre! Merci du fond du coeur!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hats off to a wonderful production.

For a small opera company, very good indeed.

Great production. Thanks for posting.

I love the overture.

Piękne, brawo artystom, podobało mi się, a najbardziej mocne wykonanie arii końcowej. Bóg Zapłać!!!

Merci du partage.

A magnificent opera with a most beautiful and emotional ending. Oh! when will people learn to wait until the music has finished before applauding

Spettacolare regia scene e costumi complimenti al regista ❤❤❤❤

Simple but excellent production!!! The moving final scene is beautifully rendered. I wish they would post their FREISCHUTZ from several seasons ago!!

Ein gutes video

Brilliant production and performance. As someone else says here much better than some European ones.

Υπέροχη όπερα του Ροσσίνι αριστούργημα γορελεμος Τέλλος!!!

Bravi!!!

Holy crap! A "complete" Guillaume Tell in 2 and a half hours??? Jeez...that's like half of the opera is missing. And yet...still a fairly decent production! Stage production is excellent,the singers are surprisingly good,only the weird score,and the horrible cuts takes a bit of toll. But not bad at all.

Great bass doing Gesler

Traveled from Oregon to Wichita to see this performance. Spyres and Meacham were great. Chorus was excellent.

quite a surprise for me - this production is far better than those of Pesaro and etc finally they use the scenery accordinig to the time - good voices too

00:24:09 ARNOLD à part Ah! Mathilde, idole de mon âme! Il faut donc vaincre ma flamme? GUILLAUME observant Arnold Je saurai lire dans son cœur. ARNOLD O ma patrie, Mon cœur te sacrifie Et mon amour et mon bonheur!

The Lone Ranger rides again!

Υπέροχη η όπερα του Rossini γορελεμος Τέλλος

what are the time markers for the scenes?

Someone please have mercy and add subtitles to this.

This is only half of the opera... Should have gone full Parsifal on it instead of cutting it down! Wagnerian length is nothing to be ashamed of!

2:25:00 finale: Tutto cangia, il ciel s'abbella / Tout change et grandit en ces lieux

57:24 - "Ma presence pour vous..." (Arnold, Mathilde)

You came here for 7:23

2:09 - - It is French as it should be - the cabaletta of Arnold "Amis, Amis, secondez ma vengeance, si notre chef est dans le fer / c'est à nous qu'appartient sa défense / d'Aldorf les chemins son ouverts! Suivez-moi, Suivez-moi, d'un monstre perfide, trompons l'espérance homicide, arrachons GUIllaume a ses coups... arrachons GUIllaume a ses coups". the GUI of Guillaume. both times, has to be sung in High C.

Does anyone know if there's any downloads for the full opera of this (Free) somewhere? I've tried looking but i've only found one in really bad quality. Thanks.

iii EXCELENTE, GENIAL la OPERA de G. Rossini !!! lastima, en la Overtura, los camarografos un desastre...no enfocan a los miembros de la Gran Orquesta, sino todo el tiempo lo hacen al director... muy MAL !! por lo demas; disfrutamos MUY BIEN... gracias.

good opera but i need to understand the words because i need to write an essay in school

"Complete"

hi ho silver away

Johan estuvo aquí :v

I don't think people today think of Swiss soldiers when they hear the overture or the name William Tell. Sorry this opera has nothing to do with Cowboys or Indians. That's the Hollywood version.

I really like this overture! I was happy to create my sand animation with it! It's an unforgettable experience to draw in the middle of the orchestra! There is my sand animation to the Rossini overture: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c6ZNXkG9TPs.html

All opera houses are the same. People coughing in the background. Chees, eat a barrel of pills for once and THEN go to opera.

If you have a cough, don't go to the opera.

C'est l'un de mes opéras préférés, bravo à Monsieur Rossini qui apparament, maîtrise à la perfection la langue de Molière. En revanche, comme je viens de commencer à regarder pour la première fois ce chef d'oeuvre, j'ai été extremement déçu de l'horrible orchestration de l'ouverture, le chef d'orchestre devrait revoir sa copie, elle n'est pas jouée avec émotion. Au début, le violoncelle joue trop rapidement, jouez avec tristesse ! Ce passage montre l'occupation des Autrichiens sur les Suisses, penez votre temps !! Et je ne parle même pas du final, qui devrait être un grand final triomphale et d'espérance pour le peuple Suisse. Toujous la même chose pour le mouvement pastoral, la flûte et le cor anglais jouent trop rapidement ! Encore une fois, PRENEZ VOTRE TEMPS !!!!!!! Jouez le avec tranquilité, on est à la campagne à ce moment de l'ouverture. Bref, franchement monsieur Todorov, je ne vous félicite pas. (Et puis entre nous, il y des biens meilleures chefs d'orchestre que vous, et de loin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

7:24 Thank Me Later.

This production of Wichita GO is very better than these of Faust, the opera by Charles Gounod. I saw it on You Tube and it is completely ridicoulous : the voices are horrible, the set too, the curtain makes a noise each time it is opened or closed. The singer who sings Faust loses his bart and his moustache before Mephistopheles makes him young......Very laughing production indeed ! But this Guillaume Tell is very good.

Complete? This is like...slightly more than half the opera. The cuts are brutal and disgusting. At least, don't advertise it as complete. Nice that they try something so demanding, but this a hopelessly provincial performance. I like Spyres quite a lot and wonder what he is doing is Wichita....That's not the place for a rising major tenor.

Not to get into a political discussion here but I am wondering who would be more deserving of the death penalty, Giaocchino Rossini or Timothy Mcveigh? Timothy McVeigh for only doing the one thing wrong that HE did wrong or Rossini for doing the three things wrong that HE did wrong; 1). Having the music of the end of the overture part of the overture only and not using it in the finale of the opera. 2). Originally the music from the finale of the William Tell Overture was intended to be sung at the end of the Second Act (in addition to at the end of the overture) but later Rossini removed it so it's only appearance is in the overture. 3. If he didn't want to use the finale of the overture for the last melody in the opera, he should have at least used a piece that was as rollicking as the end of the overture.

But at Wichita all the public at the end of opera had serioius problems of hearing??? all the singers are cying a lot..

Ad placement spoiled it completely!!! 5 ads for 2 1/2 hours might be reasonable if they hadn't been placed willy nilly. I left after the first one, but I expect the other 4 were just as carelessly placed. Sayonara!!

ese tenor no tiene ni idea de la primera aria un desastre es esto, mal la overtura primera cancion y para que seguir, mejor veo otra version

15:07 - зачем пригласили студента ? Он поет ужасно.Он не умеет петь.

The voice of michael is too small for this role

Can't stand with this language version!

The tenor singing Rodolphe is quite unbearable, an ugly nasal voice and no vocal authority for the character he's portraying.

what a pile of shite

In francese perde molto.
