Gala Placidia : $b Tragedia en tres actes

A vivid tragedy set in the waning days of the Visigothic kingdom, the drama opens in Ataulf’s palace where the new king wrestles with a poisonous message that threatens his fragile alliance with Rome. Tension builds as courtiers debate loyalty and betrayal, while the king’s fierce love for his wife, Gala Placidia, clashes with the political machinations surrounding her. The atmosphere crackles with sword‑clad ambition and the looming specter of assassination, drawing listeners into a world of honor, pride, and the desperate quest for power.

The play’s first act introduces a cast of vivid figures—Ataulf, the tormented ruler; Placidia, the proud Roman princess; and Sigerich, the steadfast war‑lord—each embodying the conflicting forces that will drive the story forward. Richly drawn dialogues and evocative stage directions convey the raw emotions of a kingdom on the brink, setting the stage for the inevitable tragedy that will unfold.
