Summary: "Libro Segreto" by Antonio Ghislanzoni is a theatrical work, likely a dramma per musica, written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the tragic figure of Didone, the queen of Carthage, who is mourning the loss of her husband Sichèo and grappling with her emotions as she encounters Enea, the Trojan prince. The text combines elements of drama and comedy, exploring themes of love, duty, and the political tumult of forming a new nation, which is intertwined with the personal turmoil of its characters. The opening of "Libro Segreto" sets the stage with a funeral scene where Didone expresses her deep sorrow over her late husband Sichèo. As Didone mourns, the ministers engage in a politically charged dialogue filled with irony and sarcasm, highlighting the absurdities of their government. In the midst of Didone's grief, there is a sudden announcement regarding the arrival of Trojans, which piques her interest and complicates her emotional state. As her mood fluctuates—from despair to curiosity—Didone's character is fleshed out as both a grieving widow and a woman caught in the promising possibility of new love, particularly with Enea. This interplay of personal sorrow and political intrigue builds a captivating backdrop for the unfolding story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
