Born on February 29th 1792 in Pesaro, Italy, this prolific composer gave us stage works that still are preformed to this day. As well as being an epic composer , he was a a renowned gourmand. Champagne, Bordeaux, caviar, and other rich dishes contributed to his rotund profile when he moved to Paris.
Celebrate this food and fun lovin’ guy tonight with a little toast of whatever, or a nightcap if it’s that late for you.

Well I had no idea he was 56. I thought he went to his reward a considerably long time ago.

I'm more interested in the gourmet meals he had throughout France rather than his operas. But trudging around with that huge stomach could not have been fun. No gym chain memberships back then. I bet he ate a lot of those crunchy ortolans practically made extinct by himself alone.

Find another hobby.
