9AURELIANO IN PALMIRA (Aurelian in Palmyra), Italian opera, music by Rossini, represented in Milan, 1814. It was unsuccessful, but some of its principal parts have been preserved in other works of the composer. The melody of the first chorus, "Sposa del grande Osiride," which had previously done duty as a chorus in Ciro in Babilonia, is now the cavatina of Almaviva, "Ecco ridente in cielo," in Il barbiere di Siviglia, and the overture is now the introduction to the same work, after having served meanwhile as the overture to Elisabetta. Aureliano failed also in London.—Stendhal, Vie de R.; Edwards, Life of R., 65.
