Fiorella

About the show

In Napoleonic Rome, Fiorella’s affections are divided between Rodolphe, a French officer and spy, and his friend Albert. Fiorella secretly helps Rodolphe evade the authorities, and the two friends shelter in a monastery during a storm, where Rodolphe vows not to marry her. Fiorella arrives in disguise and reunites with him; the police mistakenly arrest Albert, and papers that could convict Rodolphe are burned. Rodolphe and Fiorella are united, while Albert is consoled by Fiorella’s maid Zerbine.
