The Baron of Otranto & Samson & Pandora: Three Plays
$20.95
Three plays by French author Voltaire, author of the classic novel, Candide. THE BARON OF OTRANTO tells the story of the beautiful enslaved girl, Irene, who's quite shameless and uninhibited in using her feminine charms to seduce and defeat her captor, the corsair Abdullah--and thereby free her beloved Baron Otranto. SAMSON is one of the best opera librettos that blends classic Greek and Roman forms with Biblical theme and myth, retelling the Old Testament tale of Samson and Delila. Samson's aria became France's national anthem during the initial phase of the French Revolution. PANDORA retells the classical myth of Prometheus, who steals the fire of life from Heaven and then animates Pandora--his beautiful creation who becomes his wife and lover, and whom Jupiter jealously covets. Great French drama by an icon of French literature.
