It’s the island of Sicily, 1282 (or whatever year the production director decides it to be). The French have just conquered the island, killing its ruler Duke Frederick in the process, and have set their own governor, Guy de Montfort. The Sicilian LaResistance, led by Elena, sister of the deceased Duke, and [[BassoProfondo Procida]], a Sicilian doctor, plans to assassinate Montfort and start a rebellion. The situation becomes much more complicated when one of the rebels, a [[TenorBoy young Henri/Arrigo]], turns out to be Montfort’s [[LukeIAmYourFather long-lost son]]…

* BreakTheCutie: Poor Arrigo. First he learns that his worst enemy [[LukeIAmYourFather is his father]], then the said father captures and threatens to kill Ariigo's girlfriend, then the girlfriend treats Arrigo like a piece of shit because she thinks he has betrayed their common cause... And finally, LaResistance members kill Arrigo's newfound father. Geez, does this guy need a break.

Noted for its extremely difficult tenor part (with a high D, no less!), the opera is rarely performed today, although its grand overture and the beautiful bass aria are well known.
