Guzaima is about to get married, but Ben Said, an envoy from the Islamic king, sees her and sends her to the king as tribute along with many other women. Manoel, her fiancé, rides to the capital Cordoba to get her back... A story of love, hate, and mother-son love involving Ben Said's brother Hajar and the madwoman Hermosa. Newly recorded here on the occasion of the bicentennial of Gounod's birth is his last opera, \"The Tribute of Zamora,\" first performed in 1881. Although the premiere of the opera was reportedly a success, it is not performed very often today, perhaps because of the age of \"The Tribute of the 20 Virgins,\" which is difficult to accept in the modern age. However, the aria \"The Saracens Said\" and other arias by Guzaima, which were in Sutherland's repertoire, are worth listening to for their beautiful melodies and vivid colors, which are typical of Gounod.Niquet, who was chorus conductor at the Opera before his participation in Christie's \"Les Arts Florissants,\" is now a highly respected figure in the world of classical music and is also uniquely active in the discovery of unknown French operas.
