Le siège de Corinthe

About the show

During the siege of Corinth, Governor Cléomène learns that his daughter Pamira loves Maometto, the Turkish leader, whom she once knew as Almanzor. Pamira is torn between love and loyalty to Greece and finally joins her father and the Greek defenders. After the city falls, Pamira and the women kill themselves rather than submit, and Corinth is shown burning.
