Ariodant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ariodant is an opera in three acts by the French composer Étienne Méhul first performed at the Théâtre Favart in Paris on 11 October 1799. The libretto, by François Benoît Hoffmann is based on the same episode in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso that inspired Handel's opera Ariodante.
