The great Placido Domingo stars as the passionate explorer Vasco de Gama in Lotfi Mansouri's colorfully exotic, critically-acclaimed production for the San Francisco Opera, conducted by Maurizio Arena. Enormously popular in the 19th century, "L'Africaine" is set in the days of the great explorations. Shipwrecked on the African coast, de Gama returns to Portugal with two captives and falls in love with one of them, a beautiful East Indian queen (the spectacular Shirley Verrett). However, their relationship is threatened by the re-emergence of de Gama's former love, Lines, when a new expedition launched by the explorer's rival is shipwrecked.
