This opera reinterprets themes from medieval chivalric romances, focusing on the titular hero, Amadis, who is caught in a web of love and rivalry. The narrative unfolds in a fantastical world filled with enchantments, showcasing the intersection of love, honor, and betrayal. The story revolves around Amadis, who is deeply in love with Oriana, the daughter of a king. However, his affections are complicated by the enchantress Melissa, who also loves him and hatches plots to keep him away from Oriana, using magic and manipulation. Throughout the opera, rivalries intensify, particularly between Amadis and Dardanus, the Prince of Thrace, who seeks Oriana’s love as well. Melissa's attempts to hinder Amadis lead to dramatic confrontations, and the story navigates themes of loyalty and sacrifice. Ultimately, the characters are faced with choices that test their love and honor, leading to a resolution shaped by magical forces and heartfelt emotions. The opera concludes with the eventual union of Amadis and Oriana, symbolizing the triumph of love over adversity.
