Armide

About the show

During the First Crusade, the sorceress Armide captures Christian knights. When she raises her dagger to kill their defender Renaud, she falls in love with him instead and uses magic to make him love her. Unable to bear that his feelings are enchanted, she asks the Goddess of Hate to restore her hatred, but cannot escape her love. Two of Renaud’s fellow soldiers arrive and break the spell. Renaud escapes, leaving Armide enraged and despairing.
