Synopsis "Le Comte Ory (in French)"

Le Comte Ory is a comic opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Eug?ne Scribe and Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson, first performed in Paris in 1828. The story is set in the Middle Ages, at Formoutiers Castle in Turenna, whilst the lords are away on the Crusade. The libertine Count Ory, with the help of his friend Raimbaud, disguises himself as a hermit to seduce Countess Ad?le, who lives confined to the castle with her ladies-in-waiting. The page Isolier, who is in love with Ad?le, plans to sneak into the castle disguised as a pilgrim; Ory steals the idea and attempts to enter, but is unmasked by his tutor. A messenger announces the imminent return of the Crusaders, but Ory does not give up.In the second act, during a storm, Ory and his companions arrive at the castle disguised as female pilgrims seeking shelter. Isolier discovers the deception and warns Ad?le. During the night, amidst misunderstandings and revelry, Ory attempts to seduce the Countess, believing he is holding Isolier's hand (in reality, it is the page who kisses the lady's hand). Upon the arrival of the Crusaders and Ory's father, the Count and his companions flee hastily through a secret passage, whilst everyone hails the return of the valiant knights and the end of the amorous adventures. The opera concludes with a joyful celebration of cunning and love.Le Comte Ory est un op?ra comique en deux actes de Gioachino Rossini, sur un livret d'Eug?ne Scribe et de Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson, cr?? ? Paris en 1828. L'intrigue se d?roule au Moyen ?ge, au ch?teau de Formoutiers en Touraine, alors que les seigneurs sont partis en croisade. Le libertin comte Ory, avec l'aide de son ami Raimbaud, se d?guise en ermite pour s?duire la comtesse Ad?le, qui vit recluse dans le ch?teau avec ses dames d'honneur. Le page Isolier, amoureux d'Ad?le, pr?voit de s'introduire dans le ch?teau d?guis? en p?lerine; Ory lui vole l'id?e et tente d'entrer, mais il est d?masqu? par son pr?cepteur. Un messager annonce le retour imminent des crois?s, mais Ory n'abandonne pas.Au deuxi?me acte, pendant un orage, Ory et ses compagnons se pr?sentent au ch?teau d?guis?s en p?lerines en qu?te d'un refuge. Isolier d?couvre la supercherie et pr?vient Ad?le. Dans la nuit, entre quiproquos et beuveries, Ory tente de s?duire la comtesse en croyant serrer la main d'Isolier (alors qu'en r?alit?, c'est le page qui embrasse la main de la dame). ? l'arriv?e des crois?s et du p?re d'Ory, le comte et les siens s'enfuient pr?cipitamment par un passage secret, tandis que tous acclament le retour des vaillants chevaliers et la fin des aventures galantes. L'op?ra s'ach?ve sur une joyeuse c?l?bration de la ruse et de l'amour.
