Bandit Umberto holds Isabella prisoner, and her husband Edoardo’s attempt to rescue her fails. Isabella is ultimately revealed to be Umberto’s daughter.
Villagers prepare to celebrate Nazir and Amasie's wedding, but news arrives that the Saracens are ravaging the land. They postpone the wedding and, inspired by a knight carrying Charles Martel's oriflamme, take up arms and sing patriotic hymns before going to battle.
The Marquise separates Hortense and Arthur, who love one another, and arranges Hortense’s marriage to Vernillac. Her poisoning scheme kills Vernillac, and she later poisons her accomplice Galifard. Before the Marquise can permanently separate the lovers, Galifard exposes her crimes and she is taken to trial.
Set near Milan in 1797, the opera follows chapelmaster Barnabé, who hopes to stage his opera Cléopâtre but fears that the invading French army may take it from him.
Leonora disguises herself as a man to enter the prison where her husband Florestano is imprisoned by his enemy Don Pizarro. She fools the jailer Rocco into giving her a job. When Pizarro learns that Governor Don Fernando is approaching, he orders Florestano’s execution. Leonora accompanies Rocco to the underground cell and threatens him with a pistol until Don Fernando arrives and frees Florestano.
