| Summary |
"Le Comte Ory: Opéra en deux actes" by Rossini, Delestre-Poirson, and Scribe is an opera piece likely written in the early 19th century. This book falls under the category of musical theatre and presents themes of love, disguise, and deception in a comedic setting. The narrative revolves around the antics of Count Ory, a charming yet roguish character who seeks to woo a noblewoman while pretending to be a hermit. The story unfolds in the chateau of the Comtesse de Formoutiers, where Count Ory, with his friends and followers, is determined to pursue the Comtesse while hiding his true identity. Disguised as an erudite hermit, he aims to charm the ladies with his pretended wisdom. Meanwhile, Isolier, the page of Count Ory, also harbors affections for the Comtesse, leading to a competition between the two. Amidst the confusion of identities and intentions, an impending return of the Comtesse's husband adds urgency to the Count's schemes. The opera is filled with comedic encounters and musical numbers that explore the characters' desires and follies, culminating in a resolve of mistaken identities and romantic reconciliations.
