THE ORPHEUS MALE VOICE CHOIR

THE WIRELESS MILITARY BAND
Conducted by B. WALTON O'DONNELL
IN 1820 Rossini produced an Opera, Mahomet
II, Which was not a success. He had done extremely well with his earlier works, Tancredi, The Barber of Seville (his first opera) and others, but nearly every composer has a disappointment now and again. Like a careful, economical soul, Rossini saved up Mahomet, and when he was engaged to conduct Opera in Paris, served it up again as The Siege of Corinth. Then it was a success.
