The Plot
"L'inganno felice" by Rossini is a one-act opera, so there are no divisions by acts. The plot revolves around the story of a noblewoman, Isabella, who is shipwrecked on the coast of North Africa. She is separated from her husband and believes him to be dead. The Bey of Algiers, who has been searching for a wife, discovers Isabella and wishes to marry her. However, Isabella has other plans and hatches a scheme to escape from the Bey's palace with her husband. With the help of her old flame, Tarabotto, she manages to outsmart the Bey and reunite with her husband.
