Edgar

About the show

Fidelia welcomes the return of Edgar, who has been living with Tigrana. Edgar rejects Tigrana’s invitation to resume their debauched life and declares his love for Fidelia. When villagers order Tigrana to leave, Edgar defends her and leaves with her, burning his house as they go. Later, tired of this life, he leaves Tigrana and joins the army. After Edgar supposedly dies in battle, a funeral procession honors him, but a monk denounces his past and the crowd turns against him. Tigrana is bribed to confirm the accusations. The monk reveals that he is Edgar in disguise; Tigrana stabs Fidelia, and soldiers capture her.
