The opera of Semiramide is considered, by Rossini’s admirers, as one of his best, and there are fine pieces in it; but I own it wearied me exceedingly by its extreme length, not only of the whole as a drama, but of the individual pieces, some of which seemed to me as if they would never end. These tedious compositions completely exhaust my attention, till I am insensible of their beauties. |
