La Chartreuse de Parme

About the show

Fabrice del Dongo meets Clélia when her father is stopped by police and offers her a seat in his carriage. His aunt Gina works with Milanese liberals to free him from Austrian authorities. Fabrice and Clélia fall in love, but a misunderstanding separates them. After a duel forces him to flee, Fabrice is imprisoned in Parma, where Clélia visits him. She agrees to marry the Marquis Crescenzi but helps Gina free Fabrice, promising to help him and then never see him again. After the prince’s death, Fabrice returns to Parma and meets Clélia at the charterhouse, where he blesses her marriage. He retreats into religious orders and prays for forgiveness.
