La Flora, o vero Il natal de' fiori

About the show

At the wedding celebration of Margherita de’ Medici and Odoardo Farnese, Hymen presents the story of Chloris and Zephyrus. The gods arrange their union, but Cupid’s jealousy and Pan’s false accusation separate them, bringing storms to Tuscany. The truth is restored, spring returns, and Zephyrus transforms Chloris into Flora, goddess of flowers; Apollo celebrates Florence in the finale.
