Poisoned Passion in Paris Opera Dream

In Paris, Valerie and Marquis Rinval attend De Lancy in a Gennaro role. Ailing De Lancy collapses during Lucretia, sparking talk of apoplexy or intoxication. Valerie, unmoved by the death, later sinks into brain fever as the city reels from the tragedy.

Death at Paris Opera Sparks Poison Conspiracy Rumor

Gaston de Lancy dies suddenly in Paris causing a stir as rumors spread of possible poisoning. A stranger reportedly spoke with Lucretia Borgia’s wine preparer before the death, but doctors call it apoplexy. De Lancy is buried in Rouen at his mother’s wish, and the opera season shifts with lingering resentment toward Lucretia Borgia. A month later Mademoiselle de Cevennes leaves Paris for Normandy as delirious dreams reveal a haunting past. The Caen region estate, once ruined, is restored through a Bourbon-era revival and marriage.
