Iolanta - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Lyric opera in one act
Text by Modest Tchaikovsky

Iolanta, the daughter of the Provençal King René, blind from birth, lives hidden in the Vosges Mountains.
Her father hopes for a cure from the famous physician Ibn-Hakia – only when she regains her sight will Iolanta meet her fiancé, Robert of Burgundy. Things turn out differently: Robert wants to break off the engagement because he loves another princess. His companion and friend Vaudemont, however, falls in love with Iolanta at first sight, and she returns his love. Love becomes the key to treatment, the cure succeeds, and Iolanta learns to see.
