In the early 19th century, opera overtures bore little musical relationship to the operas themselves. The overture served as a musical signal for the audience that the evening’s entertainment was about to begin; its musical content might suggest some of the emotional range of the opera, but did not include any actual themes. Rossini, like Mozart before him, usually left the overture until the last minute. In the case of The Barber of Seville, Rossini ran out of time before the opera’s scheduled premiere, so he borrowed the overture from his opera seria, Aureliano in Palmira, which had premiered two years earlier. In 1815, a year before the premiere of The Barber of Seville, Rossini once again recycled it, this time as the overture to his historical opera Elisabetta, regina d’Inghilterra (Elizabeth, Queen of England). As James Keller points out, “the fact that essentially the same piece could serve to introduce an opera seria, an opera buffa, and a historical tragic opera speaks to the adaptability of Rossini’s basic style to a variety of dramatic situations.”

【古典音樂小站】羅西尼：塞維利亞理髮師 - 序曲。這首美麗的音樂是由戴維斯高中交響樂團演奏，並在 www.musopen.org 以創意共享授權方式提供。
19世紀早期，歌劇序曲與歌劇本身之間很少有音樂上的關聯。序曲的作用是向觀眾發出音樂信號，告知晚上的娛樂即將開始；其音樂內容可能暗示歌劇涵蓋的某些情感範圍，但不包含任何實際的主題。像莫札特一樣，羅西尼通常會把序曲留到最後一刻。在《塞維利亞理髮師》的情況下，羅西尼在歌劇安排的首演前時間不足，因此他從他的奧佛瑞歌劇《棕櫚之城的奧勒留斯》借用了這首序曲，該歌劇兩年前已經首演。在《塞維利亞理髮師》首演前一年的1815年，羅西尼再次將其重複使用，這次作為他的歷史歌劇《伊麗莎白，英格蘭女王》的序曲。正如詹姆斯·凱勒所指出的，“實際上基本相同的作品能夠用來介紹奧佛瑞歌劇、喜劇歌劇和歷史悲劇歌劇的事實，顯示了羅西尼基本風格對各種戲劇情境的適應性。”
