Kuningas René'n tytär : Lyrillinen drama yhdessä näytöksessä

Set in a sun‑drenched valley of 15th‑century Provence, the drama opens in a single, richly described room where roses coil around stone walls and a hidden garden whispers of distant mountains. King René has sent his trusted knight Almerik on a delicate mission, delivering a royal ring and a sealed letter that promise both honor and danger. Around them gather a colorful cast—Jolantha, the king’s mysterious daughter; the proud Count Tristan; a learned Mauritanian physician; and a chorus of courtiers whose whispered loyalties sway like the gentle breeze through the garden.

The tension mounts as Almerik wrestles with a concealed doorway, its moss‑covered entrance revealing a narrow passage that leads deeper into the landscape’s secrets. Bertrand, the cautious attendant, guards the ring while Martha, his confidante, probes the motives behind the king’s summons. With the cryptic message urging Almerik to meet the princess, listeners are drawn into a lyrical puzzle of duty, intrigue, and the fragile hope of a reunion that could change the fortunes of all present.
