Rossini's opera Le Comte Ory premiered on this day in Paris in 1828. Count Ory is Rossini’s first original opera in French inspired by an old Picardy ballad about a certain Count Ory, who disguised himself as a nun in order to break into convents and infringe on the sisters' hospitality. Rossini and his team transported the action from a convent to a castle and from nuns to faithful wives of crusaders.
