The Opportunity

About the show

Aurelio, visiting Urbino, is mistaken for the banished Borgia and lets the confusion continue. He falls for Cornelia, Borgia’s sister, while Ursini also seeks her and the Duchess becomes enamored of Aurelio. A balcony scene of mistaken identities and overheard conversation deepens the confusion until Cornelia admits the deception; further mix-ups resolve in the Duchess marrying the Duke of Ferrara and Cornelia marrying Ursini, while Aurelio leaves.
