Il sogno di Scipione

About the show

In a dream, Fortuna and Constanza offer to guide Scipio through life, but he must choose between worldly power and steadfast virtue. In the Temple of Heaven, he meets ancestral heroes and learns that he must return to Earth for a mission. He chooses Constanza, withstands Fortuna’s storm, and awakens; Licenza praises the choice and the work’s dedicatee, Archbishop Colloredo.
