Looking for solace in his distress, Carlos visits the grave of his grandfather, Charles V, in the local monastery. Their happiness is not to last, and with the end of the war comes the end of their relationship: Elisabeth has been promised as bride to King Philippe, Carlos’s father, and must fulfill her duty to keep the peace. They immediately fall in love, and are delighted to find out that they are actually betrothed. Lost on a hunting expedition, Elisabeth de Valois runs into the young Prince of Spain, Don Carlos.
Verdi’s grand opera Don Carlos is a story of love and devotion conflicting with political and religious upheaval.
