An opera in a prologue and three episodes adapted from Gabriele D’Annunzio’s play of the same title.
Blind King Archibaldo suspects that his daughter-in-law Fiora is unfaithful to his son Manfredo. Fiora is having an affair with Avito, a former prince. Archibaldo kills Fiora, then poisons her lips so her lover will die. Avito kisses her and reveals the affair to Manfredo before dying. Grief-stricken, Manfredo also kisses Fiora and dies; Archibaldo hears his son’s final voice.
Folco summons his wife Giselda’s former suitor Rinaldo and the necromancer Salomone to interpret a vision of a white hind with Giselda’s face. Salomone says Folco must return to the forest and carry the wounded animal home as if it were Giselda. While Folco searches, Rinaldo declares his love to Giselda. Folco returns unable to see Giselda, seeing the doe in her place; the garden blossoms, and Giselda yields to Rinaldo.
