The gusli player Sadko leaves his wife Lyubava and Novgorod to seek his fortune. With help from the Sea Princess Volkhova, he catches golden fish and sails abroad, later marrying her in the Sea Tsar’s realm. After a storm destroys the undersea kingdom, Sadko returns to Novgorod wealthy, and Volkhova becomes a river flowing from Lake Ilmen to the sea.
In early fifteenth-century France, Count Savoisy’s marriage to Bérengère is dissolved by papal decree so he can marry again and provide an heir. Saracen Yaqoub, a former prisoner, is tried for killing Raymond and pardoned by King Charles VII. The king neglects the war to go hunting, until Agnès Sorel confronts him and he calls his court to battle. In Act IV, Bérengère urges Yaqoub to kill Savoisy before he marries Isabelle. After Savoisy is stabbed, Bérengère takes poison and dies, leaving Yaqoub in despair.
