Gioachino Rossini composed his famous opera “William Tell”, which premiered in 1829. Rossini’s opera was based on William Tell, the legendary Swiss Folk Hero who was a virtuoso marksman with the crossbow and famous for his arching skills. Legend has it that on November 18, 1307, William Tell defied the Austrian authority by not bowing to a hat that was placed on a pole by Gessler, the Austrian Vogt (overlord). William Tell was arrested. Tell’s punishment would be that he and his son would be executed unless he could shoot an apple from his son’s head from a distance of 80 paces. William Tell shot the apple successfully, but Gessler noticed that William Tell had an extra arrow, which William Tell had planned to use to kill Gessler. Gessler captured William Tell again, but Tell escaped and ultimately killed Gessler. William Tell’s famous fight
