Le Comte Ory is a comic opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Eugène Scribe and Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson, first performed in Paris in 1828. The story is set in the Middle Ages, at Formoutiers Castle in Turenna, whilst the lords are away on the Crusade. The libertine Count Ory, with the help of his friend Raimbaud, disguises himself as a hermit to seduce Countess Adèle, who lives confined to the castle with her ladies-in-waiting. The page Isolier, who is in love with Adèle, plans to sneak into the castle disguised as a pilgrim; Ory steals the idea and attempts to enter, but is unmasked by his tutor. A messenger announces the imminent return of the Crusaders, but Ory does not give up.
In the second act, during a storm, Ory and his companions arrive at the castle disguised as female pilgrims seeking shelter. Isolier discovers the deception and warns Adèle. During the night, amidst misunderstandings and revelry, Ory attempts to seduce the Countess, believing he is holding Isolier's hand (in reality, it is the page who kisses the lady's hand). Upon the arrival of the Crusaders and Ory's father, the Count and his companions flee hastily through a secret passage, whilst everyone hails the return of the valiant knights and the end of the amorous adventures. The opera concludes with a joyful celebration of cunning and love.
Le Comte Ory est un opéra comique en deux actes de Gioachino Rossini, sur un livret d'Eugène Scribe et de Charles-Gaspard Delestre-Poirson, créé à Paris en 1828. L'intrigue se déroule au Moyen Âge, au château de Formoutiers en Touraine, alors que les seigneurs sont partis en croisade. Le libertin comte Ory, avec l'aide de son ami Raimbaud, se déguise en ermite pour séduire la comtesse Adèle, qui vit recluse dans le château avec ses dames d'honneur. Le page Isolier, amoureux d'Adèle, prévoit de s'introduire dans le château déguisé en pèlerine ; Ory lui vole l'idée et tente d'entrer, mais il est démasqué par son précepteur. Un messager annonce le retour imminent des croisés, mais Ory n'abandonne pas.
Au deuxième acte, pendant un orage, Ory et ses compagnons se présentent au château déguisés en pèlerines en quête d'un refuge. Isolier découvre la supercherie et prévient Adèle. Dans la nuit, entre quiproquos et beuveries, Ory tente de séduire la comtesse en croyant serrer la main d'Isolier (alors qu'en réalité, c'est le page qui embrasse la main de la dame). À l'arrivée des croisés et du père d'Ory, le comte et les siens s'enfuient précipitamment par un passage secret, tandis que tous acclament le retour des vaillants chevaliers et la fin des aventures galantes. L'opéra s'achève sur une joyeuse célébration de la ruse et de l'amour.
