General Notes

Description

Attila is vanquishing Italy and in the process falls in love with the heroic daughter of a Lord he has killed. He takes her as a slave and eventually as his wife, but she harbors the desire to kill him in vengeance, and eventually succeeds. (Rather convoluted plot that isn't fully detailed here).

Theme

Loving a heroic woman leads to death

Emotional Sum or Sense-of-life

Life is a mix of strength, heroism, romantic passion.

The work is a long complex opera, so it has many other lyrical emotions as part of it, but this covers the basic sense of life.
