Il Ruggiero
Il Ruggiero (full name: Il Ruggiero ovvero L'eroica gratitudine) is an opera in three acts composed by Johann Adolph Hasse to a libretto by Pietro Metastasio. It was first staged on 16 October 1771 for the wedding of Archduke Ferdinand Karl with Maria Beatrice d'Este in the Teatro Regio Ducale, Milan. It was both Metastasio's last libretto and Hasse's last opera, as well as the thirty-second Metastasio libretto Hasse had set to music.
The characters and plot are drawn from the last three songs (44–46) in Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto, published in 1516. The hero Ruggiero loves the warrior-woman Bradamante. When Ruggiero goes missing, Bradamante declares she will marry only the man who can defeat her in single combat. Ruggiero returns together with Leone, to whom he owes his life. Leone falls in love with Bradamante and persuades Ruggiero to go into combat with her disguised as him.

Ottone has found Ruggiero. He has been staying with the Greeks incognito under the assumed name Erminio. After the battle against the Greeks he was taken prisoner but was freed by Leone, who admired his bravery. Owing Leone his life, he is honour-bound to support his bid for Leone's hand. Leone asks Ruggiero, whom he still thinks is Erminio, whether it is true that Bradamante is in love with Ruggiero. Ruggiero confirms this is true. He secretly suffers from the conflict between his friendship with Leone and his love for Bradamante.

Bradamante asks Carlo Magno for help. She does not want to be married to a man who is inferior to her in fighting skills. They therefore decide that anyone who seeks her hand must stand against her in combat for a specified time.
