La hija de Rappaccini

About the show

In Padua, medical student Giovanni lodges in Isabela’s home and sees Dr. Rappaccini’s daughter Beatriz in her father’s garden. Beatriz’s touch is poisonous, and Giovanni becomes ill after meeting her. Baglioni warns him that Beatriz is dangerous and gives him an antidote. Giovanni returns to the garden, where Rappaccini claims his experiments have cured both young people and warns that the antidote will kill them. Beatriz takes the vial and drinks it despite their protests; she dies.
