Trama di Ciro in Babilonia
https://www.rossinioperafestival.it/en/stories/ciro-in-babilonia/ The plot of "Ciro in Babilonia" concerns the events, drawn from the Bible, surrounding the invasion of Babylon by Ciro (Cyrus), king of Persia. During the fighting, Ciro's wife, Amira, and their son are captured by Baldassare (Belshazzar), king of Babylon. Under a plan hatched by Arbace, Ciro's general, Ciro disguises himself as an ambassador to the Babylonians, so as to embed himself in Baldassare's court and plot the release of his wife and son. After a series of tribulations and plot twists (including divine intervention), Baldassare is defeated, and in triumph, Ciro is joyfully reunited with his wife and son.
