Early Italian opera on the Don Juan subject.
Dori, a princess kidnapped as a child and raised as an Egyptian royal, disguises herself as a male slave to find Oronte, her beloved. She is sold to her real sister Arsinoe, while Egyptian prince Tolomeo disguises himself as a woman to approach Arsinoe. After a series of mistaken identities, Dori’s origins are revealed and she marries Oronte; Arsinoe and Tolomeo also marry.
Selino, actually the kidnapped Lucimoro, abandons his pregnant wife Argia and later falls in love with Dorisbe, unaware she is his sister. Argia searches for him in disguise, while her brother Feraspe also arrives. The identities are revealed, Argia and Selino reconcile, their son reunites Selino with his birth father, and Dorisbe marries Feraspe.
Philosophy and Love debate their power over humanity. Queen Orontea vows to avoid love, but falls for painter Alidoro when he arrives seeking refuge; the courtesan Silandra also loves him. Giacinta, disguised as a boy, arrives after being sent to kill Alidoro. Orontea grows jealous when he paints Silandra, while Creonte disapproves of her love for a commoner. Later Alidoro is accused of stealing a royal medallion. Aristea explains that it belonged to his family: Alidoro is actually Floridano, the kidnapped son of Phoenicia’s king, and he is free to marry Orontea.
