Description

A noble count—and also an anchorite, a black-book scholar; a commanding lord—and a ruler of spirits endowed with mysterious knowledge… This is Manfred. In Byron’s lonely hero of a romantic philosophical drama, with unbridled pride, he feels within himself the “Promethean spark” and refuses to “buy” peace of mind.

In the musical arrangement, Robert Schumann’s overture “Manfred” is used.
