Costume designs for Gioachino Rossini's opera William Tell, featuring Laure Cinti-Damoreau as Mathilde, Adolphe Nourrit as Arnold Melchtal, and Nicolas Levasseur as Walter Furst. William Tell was Rossini's last opera. Its overture has been repeatedly used in both classical music and popular media, most famously as the theme music for The Lone Ranger on radio, film, and television.
