“Ho un gran peso” is an aria from Gioachino Rossini’s opera “L’Italiana in Algeri” (The Italian Girl in Algiers). In this aria, the character Taddeo sings about the heavy burden he feels, as he believes he has been abandoned by his love, Isabella. Rossini’s “L’Italiana in Algeri” is a comic opera with lively and humorous elements, and this aria reflects the character’s emotional state.
