The overture
The Countess de Soria plans to marry General Salvaterra, who has won a decisive victory over the Moors. However, he has also captured the Moorish prince Muza and fallen in love with his fiancée, the princess Zulma. Zulma responds to Salvaterra and offers him a sash. Muza insists that Salvaterra keep a promise to him to release him and Zulma; when Zulma says she will stay in Castile, Muza swears revenge. Estrella, Countess of Soria, has heard of the love of Salvaterra and the captured Moorish princess, but remains convinced that he will return her love.
