Gioachino Rossini's Semiramide, an opera in two acts that premieres at La Fenice in Venice on February 3, 1823, is the last of the operas he composes for Italy before relocating to Paris.

The libretto by Gaetano Rossi is based on Voltaire's tragedy Semiramis, which in turn was based on the legend of Semiramis of Assyria.
