Opera plot
Prince Ariodante is in love with the Scottish princess Guinevere and is going to tie the knot with her. However, on the eve of the wedding, the princess is disgraced – there is a rumor that she spent the night with another man.
Beyond himself from such a betrayal, Ariodantus flees the castle and, according to rumors, dies, throwing himself into the sea. The disgraced princess can only hope that there will be a knight who can defend her honor.
In fact, Ariodantus did not die. Having learned by the will of fate about the intrigues of enemies and convinced of the loyalty of his beloved, the prince returns to the castle. There he fights in the square with the villain Polnesso, and, of course, everything ends well.
