La gazza ladra is a "opera semiseria"; It is about a maid accused of stealing some cutlery with which the title magpie has escaped from her nest. Apparently light, the opera was based on a true story in which a young woman was sentenced to death for the bird crime.

The overture perfectly combines the episodic color with the heavier drama of the symphonic sonata form. It features a parade of delightful themes and effects, including a particularly famous one presented by an oboe, anticipating the characters and action to come, and then, following a spectacular crescendo, rework several of these themes in a mini-development section.

La gazza ladra by G.Rossini, from ROF Rossini Opera Festival, 2007. Directed by Damiano Michieletto, conductor Lü Jia, starring Mariola Cantarero, Alex Esposito, Dmitry Korchak, Michele Pertusi, Paolo Bordogna, Manuela Custer, Stefan Cifolelli, Sandhya Nagaraja and Kleopatra Papatheologou. Performed in Italian and subtitled in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
