Adelaide di Borgogna is an opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini. The libretto, by Giovanni Schmidt, is based on a historical drama by Antonio Salvioli. The opera premiered on December 27, 1817, at the Teatro Argentina in Rome.
The music of Adelaide di Borgogna is typical of Rossini’s early operas, with arias, duets, and ensemble pieces that showcase the singers’ virtuosity and the composer’s gift for melody. The opera also features some impressive choral numbers, including a stirring finale in which the people of Italy rally behind Adelaide and her cause.
Adelaide di Borgogna is a historical drama with a strong female protagonist and themes of love, loyalty, and political intrigue. Although it is not as well-known as some of Rossini’s other works, it has been gaining in popularity in recent years and is a fascinating example of the composer’s early style.

In her album, the singer combines lullabies in different languages and from different cultures and explains how the idea for the programme and the CD was born: "I recorded it when I was still pregnant. It's about what we mothers sing to our children, and it's basically the same everywhere. It's a very personal album, very warm."

They are musical moments that are remembered. In recent years, Olga Peretyatko's agile soprano voice has gained in suppleness and lush depth, so that as Lieladie she can present the whole spectrum of emotions in modelled lines.
