Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Opera in a prologue and three acts
Text Giacomo Badoaro

Content:
Based on Homer's epic The Odyssey, the opera begins from the moment Odysseus (Italian: Ulisse) returns home from the Trojan War.
He is dropped off sleeping on his home island of Ithaca and disguises himself as a beggar to remain unrecognized. The swineherd Eumete takes him in and Odysseus initially only reveals himself to his son Telemaco. His wife Penelope has been torn for 20 years between the hope of Odysseus' return and the courting of suitors who pressure her into marriage.
