Maritana

About the show

Gypsy singer Maritana catches the attention of King Charles II, while devious minister Don José hopes to use her to advance his position. José arranges for the condemned Don César to marry a veiled Maritana before his execution, misleading her into believing she will marry the King; César survives and escapes. After the two find each other at court, César exposes José as a traitor and the grateful King gives Maritana to him, appointing him Governor of Valencia.
