The Wild Man of the West Indies (Il furioso all'isola di San Domingo)

Work:: The Wild Man of the West Indies (Il furioso all'isola di San Domingo) (S01781106288)

The libretto by Jacopo Ferretti is based on a play by an unknown author, but ultimately derives from an episode of Cervantes' Don Quixote. Unusually for its time, the plot centres on a male victim of spousal infidelity. After his wife Eleonora is unfaithful, Cardenio flees for an island in the West Indies, where he loses his senses and his mind. The Wild Man of the West Indies features a love story of huge psychological depth, and a host of beautiful bel canto arias

Music	Donizetti
