The opera or 'farsa comica' in one act 'La Scala di Seta' (The Silken Ladder) by Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868) was first performed at the 'San Moise' theatre in Venice on 9 May 1812. It is the story of the beautiful Giulia whose guardian wants her to marry a rich young man. However, Giulia is already married to a young man who climbs every night into her room by means of a silken ladder. In the splendid overture of this opera Rossini gave an important part to the wind ensemble. This classic of the early 19th century repertoire has been most skilfully and enthusiastically arranged for wind band by Lorenzo della Fonte.
