With its echoes of Romeo & Juliet, Marianna Bottini’s Elena e Gerardo is an epic romance, brimming with dramatic intrigue, virtuosic music, and of course, a pair of star-crossed lovers. When family honour meets secret love, which will triumph? And who will be left for dead?

In Venice, discontentment ripples through the household of nobleman Pietro Candiano. Desperate to assuage the deep depression into which his daughter Elena has fallen, he finally alights upon a possible answer: surely, he concludes, Elena has fallen in love. The only other man she ever meets is his loyal friend, Vittorio, who is overjoyed when Pietro offers him his daughter’s hand in marriage: he is himself fervently in love with Elena.
