Our Opera of the Month is Rossini's Ciro in Babilonia which premiered 200 years ago on March 14, 1500.

The article on the opera itself is a stub needing considerable expansion.

We also lack articles on Elisabetta Manfredini-Guarmani who created the role of Almira and celebrated tenor and singing teacher Eliodoro Bianchi who created the role of Baldassare.

Ciro in Babilonia has been termed an azione sacra. This genre could use its own article (currently a redirect to List of opera genres).
