To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The second act opens with a double chorus of huntsmen and shepherds (" Qual silvestre metro intorne "), which is followed by a scena preluding a charming romanza (" Selva opaco ") sung by Mathilde. Its mild, quiet beauty is in strange con- trast with the remainder of this great act. It is followed by a passionate duet with Arnold, a sec- ond and still more passionate duet between Tell and Walter, which leads to the magnificent trio of the oath (" La gloria inflammi "), and this in turn is follo
...wed by the splendid scene of the gathering of the cantons. For melodic and harmonic beauty combined, the spirited treatment of masses, and charin and variety of color, this great scene stands almost alone.
The last act opens with a duet between Mathilde and Arnold, which is followed in the next scene by a march and chorus as the multitude gathers in the square of Altorf, closing with a lovely Tyrolean chorus sung by the sopranos and accompanied with the dance. The dramatic scene of the archery fol- lows, and then Arnold has a very passionate aria (" O muto asil ").
