The story is based on Ludovico Ariosto’s epic poem Orlando furioso, which has served as the source for various opera libretti. The beautiful Alcina lures men to her island, and proceeds to transform them by supernatural powers into animals, rocks or creeks. Five characters are linked to one another via a chain of amorous situations, the most crucial of these being the affair between Alcina and the knight Ruggiero. Alcina is a fascinating character, with a wide range of emotions. Love, hate and grief are expressed in sublime arias. Ruggiero, too, is an impressive figure: a warrior and at the same time a sensitive man.
