On the eve of the Pesaro 2024 celebrations, on Sunday 10 December at 5. 30 in the auditorium of Palazzo Montani Antaldi, the Fondazione Rossini organises Rossini a Parigi, ovvero Il gran pranzo, a staged reading of the one-act vaudeville Rossini à Parigi, ou Le grand diner, written by Eugène Scribe and set to music by Édouard Joseph Ennemond Mazères, which pokes fun at the sumptuous banquet held on 16 December 1823, the most emphatic French gastronomic celebration of Rossini's genius.
