Synopsis: Bellini’s Puritani (1835) is a bel canto opera set during the English Civil War, focusing on the star-crossed love between Elvira (a Puritan) and Lord Arturo (a Royalist). When Arturo helps a royal prisoner escape, Elvira believes she is abandoned and falls into madness. The conflict resolves with a joyful ending following a political pardon.
