Composer
Gioachino Rossini
Wrote thirty-nine operas by the age of thirty-seven and then essentially stopped for forty years. He was born on a leap day, so he claimed to have had very few birthdays.
Gioachino Antonio Rossini was an Italian composer and conductor of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. While he gained most of his fame for his 39 operas, he also wrote many pieces of chamber music, piano, and some sacred music. He set new standards for both comic and serious opera before retiring from large-scale composition while still in his thirties, at the height of his popularity.
