Alcina

About the show

On the island of the sorceress Alcina, Ruggiero forgets his former life and falls under her spell. His fiancée Bradamante, disguised as her brother Ricciardo, arrives with his tutor Melisso to free him and Alcina’s transformed captives. Morgana falls for Ricciardo, while Alcina grows genuinely attached to Ruggiero. Melisso uses a magic ring to restore Ruggiero’s memory, and he prepares to escape. Bradamante and Ruggiero destroy the source of Alcina’s magic; her palace collapses, her spells end, and the captives return to human form, including Oberto’s father Astolfo.
