Sigismondo è un dramma per musica in due atti di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Giuseppe Maria Foppa, rappresentato per la prima volta a Venezia nel 1814. La vicenda ruota attorno a Sigismondo, re di Polonia, precipitato in una cupa follia a causa del perfido ministro Ladislao, che gli ha fatto credere infedele la moglie Aldimira. La regina, rinchiusa e condannata a morte, attende la fine mentre suo padre Ulderico, re di Boemia, giunge sotto le mentite spoglie del medico Eginardo per salvarla. A complicare l'intrigo si aggiunge Anagilda, sorella di Ladislao, segretamente innamorata del re e pronta a tutto pur di prendere il posto di Aldimira sul trono. Mentre Sigismondo è lacerato tra allucinazioni e scatti d'ira, Ulderico ordisce il piano per smascherare il vero traditore.
Nel secondo atto l'inganno si sgretola: il finto medico Eginardo, con l'aiuto di un fedele cortigiano, porta alla luce le prove della congiura ordita da Ladislao e dimostra l'innocenza di Aldimira. Sigismondo, uscito dal delirio, riconosce l'amata sposa e si pente dell'ingiusta condanna. Ladislao viene arrestato e condannato al supplizio, mentre Anagilda, smascherata ma pentita, ottiene il perdono. Il re ritrova la ragione e la pace, riabbracciando la moglie tra l'esultanza del popolo. L'opera si chiude con un solenne coro che celebra la vittoria della fedeltà coniugale e il ritorno della serenità sul trono di Polonia.Sigismondo is a two-act opera by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Giuseppe Maria Foppa, which was first performed in Venice in 1814. The plot centres on Sigismondo, King of Poland, who has been driven to a dark madness by his treacherous minister Ladislao, who has led him to believe that his wife, Aldimira, is unfaithful. The queen, imprisoned and sentenced to death, awaits her fate whilst her father Ulderico, King of Bohemia, arrives in disguise as the doctor Eginardo to save her. Complicating the plot is Anagilda, Ladislao's sister, who is secretly in love with the king and willing to do anything to take Aldimira's place on the throne. Whilst Sigismondo is torn between hallucinations and fits of rage, Ulderico hatches a plan to unmask the true traitor.In the second act, the deception unravels: the fake doctor Eginardo, with the help of a loyal courtier, brings to light the evidence of the conspiracy hatched by Ladislao and proves Aldimira's innocence. Sigismondo, having emerged from his delirium, recognises his beloved wife and repents of his unjust condemnation. Ladislao is arrested and sentenced to death, whilst Anagilda, though unmasked and repentant, is granted forgiveness. The king regains his sanity and peace of mind, embracing his wife once more amidst the jubilation of the people. The opera concludes with a solemn chorus celebrating the triumph of marital fidelity and the return of serenity to the Polish throne.
