Summary "Léonore, ou l'amour conjugal" by Jean Nicolas Bouilly is a historical play written during the early 19th century. This work is structured in two acts and incorporates songs throughout, highlighting themes of love and the fight against tyranny. The narrative centers on the topic of marital devotion and the lengths to which one will go to save a loved one from oppression. Set in a gloomy prison in Spain, the story follows Léonore, who disguises herself as a man named Fidélio to rescue her husband, Florestan, an unjustly imprisoned political dissenter. As Léonore takes on the role of the jailer's assistant, she learns of her husband's imminent execution and maneuvers to save him from the clutches of the cruel governor, Dom Pizare. The climax unfolds as Léonore bravely confronts Pizare, risking her life to prevent Florestan's death. Ultimately, with the arrival of the benevolent minister Dom Fernand, justice prevails, leading to the couple’s reunion and a resolution that celebrates loyalty, courage, and the power of love.
