The composer of Guillaume Tell (German: Wilhelm Tell; Italian: Guglielmo Tell) is Gioachino Rossini, who created this opera in four acts and six pictures. It is his last opera and at the same time his only completely newly composed grand opéra. The text is based on the stage work of the same name by Friedrich Schiller. The premiere took place in Paris on August 3, 1829.
The opera deals with the Swiss liberation struggle under the legendary freedom fighter William Tell against the Habsburg rule at the beginning of the 14th century.
