description: Roland is one of three operas by composer Jean-Baptiste Lully and
 librettist Philippe Quinault based on the medieval legends of chivalry (the
 other two are Amadis and Armide).  This is the second edition. Roland sets
 episodes from Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso. And, like its sibling
 Armide, Roland centers on the conflict between duty and love. Acts I-III
 portray this conflict within Angélique, Queen of Cathay, while the remaining
 acts concern Roland's unrequited love for Angélique, which is resolved only
 when the goddesses Glory and Fame show him that this too is a struggle between
 duty and love.
