The title means "The Marked," as in "stigmatized." This luscious late-Romantic extravaganza is so beautiful, and the plot so silly, that listening to it is like having one of those dreams where you remember how wonderful it was, though it made no sense at all upon waking. Carlotta is a painter in love with the wealthy but deformed Alviano. She loves his "soul"--that is because she has a heart condition that prevents her from experiencing, um, the physical side of things. Tamare, who has a crush on Carlotta and who's been running around kidnapping and raping young women in his spare time, finally abducts Carlotta and shows her what she's been missing. Not only does she love it, but before she dies she reviles Alviano for his ugliness, so he promptly goes insane. There's more, but telling you wouldn't help. Just try it. --David Hurwitz
