Phèdre

About the show

During Theseus’s absence, Phèdre confesses her forbidden love for her stepson Hippolytus, who loves Aricia. After Theseus returns, Oenone falsely accuses Hippolytus of assaulting Phèdre, and Theseus invokes Neptune against him. Hippolytus dies, and Phèdre confesses the truth before dying by poison; Theseus pardons and adopts Aricia.
