What is "bradamante"

Bradamante (occasionally spelled Bradamant) is a fictional knight heroine in two epic poems of the Renaissance: Orlando Innamorato by Matteo Maria Boiardo and Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. Since the poems exerted a wide influence on later culture, she became a recurring character in Western art.

Bradamante is an opera by the French composer Louis Lacoste, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 2 May 1707. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Pierre-Charles Roy, is based on Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto.
