Published October 27, May 24, Previous Post Mona Lisa Max von Schillings. Next Post Antonio has a crush on a local girl, whom he describes to Blondel in a cheery little song, expressing his regret that Blondel will never see her. Blondel asks Antonio to find someplace for him to sleep that night, and Antonio goes into the nearby mansion.

This minstrel's love is all fidelity and devotion without any expectation of reward. It becomes clear that Blondel isn't really an old blind man—he's young and full of strength and fire. But he reassumes his former identity when two new characters run onstage: Williams, the short-tempered rich man who owns the mansion that's onstage, and Guillot, servant to Florestan, governor of the nearby fortress.

Blondel then gets Antonio to read the letter out loud: Florestan wants to come woo Laurette in person, but he can't leave his high-security prisoner alone in the fortress. Blondel is intrigued by this description of the prisoner.

The minstrel then asks Williams what a Welshman is doing in central Austria? Williams had fought with King Richard's English army in the crusades, but upon returning home, to Wales, he found that his father had been killed while he was away, for poaching a rabbit; so Williams killed the killer and then fled to the continent. Williams exits, and Blondel then quizzes Laurette, his daughter, about Florestan and his high-security prisoner mentioned in his love-note.

Blondel then teaches her a song he's written about the blind god of love, and together they turn it into a charming duet. At this point a great lady arrives with her entourage: it's Marguerite, the Countess of Flanders and Artois, who is staying with Williams.

Richard coeur de lion wikipedia: Richard Cœur-de-lion (French pronunciation: [ʁiʃaʁ kœʁ də ljɔ̃], Richard the Lionheart) is an opéra comique, described as a comédie mise en musique, by the Belgian composer André Grétry. The French text was by Michel-Jean Sedaine.

So he repeats the violin tune, this time with orchestral accompaniment. The curtain goes up and we see a split-stage. On one side there's the prison where Richard the Lionheart is being kept; his room has a fenced-in balcony which looks out on the moat. Opposite it, on the other side of the stage, a forest stretches away into the distance.

It's the hour before dawn, and Florestan, the prison governor, allows King Richard one hour to walk the balcony and get some fresh air. Antonio brings Blondel through the forest, to the opposite site of the moat. Hoping Richard will hear him, Blondel sings the tune he was playing on the violin in Act 1, now with passionate words describing the pain of love.

Blondel is ecstatic to hear his beloved king sing their song back to him, and baritone and tenor voices mingle sweetly as they sing together. But the rapture of this ideal moment is interrupted when a crowd of soldiers emerges from the fortress; they seize Blondel. He begs them to let him speak with Florestan, and when the prison governor arrives Blondel tells him he brings a message from Laurette, the girl he loves from the village: Florestan should come meet her that night, her father will be distracted by the fiftieth anniversary wedding celebration that he is hosting.

Florestan is delighted; he pretends to be gruff and angry, yelling at Blondel in front of his soldiers, but Antonio comes to Blondel's rescue and the act concludes with a lively ensemble for Blondel, Antonio, and the soldiers of the fortress.

Two of her servants block his way, but after a lively trio with them he pushes his way past. Blondel gets rid of everybody else and reveals his identity to the surprised Marguerite.
