Orlando Paladino

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Opera in three acts
Libretto by NUNZIO porta after ARIOSTO
Music by Haydn (sung in Italian)
The opera tells in a mixture of heroic and coniical terms, the story of Orlando, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, who is turned into a ferocious madman when Angelica, the beautiful Queen of Cathay, rejects him in favour of the knight Medoro.
The intervention of supernatural powers finally restores Orlando's sanity.
