The action of the opera is haunted by two fathers who have died before it begins.
Roggero and Duncalmo were neighboring lords, and had been friends and
companions in arms. But the latter, covetous of the former’s lands, murdered his
comrade in secret. He left the dagger in the wound, then had his henchmen lie in wait
for the victim’s son Edemondo to enter the room and be caught with weapon in hand.
Edemondo has fled into exile, leaving behind his wife Anna and their infant son Elvino.
Anna has gone into hiding, leaving the child to be raised as an unknown orphan by a
local landholder Olfredo. She has disguised herself as a peasant to be near him.
The guilt-ridden Duncalmo, meanwhile, confessed on his deathbed to his own son and
heir Norcesto. The latter, stricken with shame for his father’s crime, has chosen to
conceal the confession
