Spanish California tale of a dangerous temptation
In a candlelit mission scene Governor Fages and his guests host the French explorers La Perouse and Dagelet. Eulalia, the governor’s wife, wrestles with longing and a possible betrayal as Dagelet torments with promises of elopement while Pagan dances and sacred rites unfold around them. The scene ends with Eulalia’s resolve and Dagelet’s conflicted surrender, for now.
