Restoration by Adam Cuerden
The final scene of Rossini's opera Le comte Ory at its premiere in 1828. The opera contains some of Rossini's most colorful orchestral writing and recounts a farcical tale of Count Ory and his men who attempt to seduce the women of Formoutiers while their husbands are away in the Crusades.
