Emilia Galotti

About the show

Prince Hettore Gonzaga becomes obsessed with Emilia, who is about to marry Count Appiani. The prince's chamberlain Marinelli arranges the count's murder and brings Emilia to the prince's residence. Emilia asks her father Odoardo to kill her rather than leave her vulnerable to the prince's advances; he does so, then recoils from his act, while the prince banishes Marinelli.
