The trio "Oro, quant'oro ogn'avido" is sung after one of the characters offers his head as a wedding present. Act one's "Infelice! E tu credevi" is sometimes followed by the cabaletta "Infin che un brando vindice," which was originally written for the composer's Oberto. In act three, "Clemency," one of the main characters sings the climactic aria "O de' verd'anni miei," while conversing with the dead near Charlemagne's tomb. The title character weds Elvira in act four, but he dies after Silva collects on his vow to kill himself at the sound of his hunting horn. For ten points, name this opera about a bandit that was based on a play by Victor Hugo, a work by Giuseppe Verdi.
