Description
Abellina has learned that her lover Gibello, announced dead, was the murderer of her father André who died some time earlier. She has sworn off love for him, but still thinks of him and meets him on a walk. She brandishes her dagger to kill him, but Gibello suddenly turns into a skeleton before disappearing: seized with horror, she drops the dagger and faints.
