Beatrice di Tenda

About the show

Duke Filippo envies the influence his wife Beatrice holds over his subjects and pursues Agnese, who mistakenly believes Orombello loves her. When Beatrice and Orombello are discovered together, they are accused of adultery and tortured; Orombello recants his confession and Beatrice forgives him. Agnese confesses her role in the false accusation, but Filippo signs their death warrants when a rebellion threatens, and Beatrice faces execution with dignity.
