''Amadis of Gaul, an Opera'' is a musical drama by Nicola Francesco Haym, first published in 1715. The opera reinterprets medieval chivalric romances, centering on the hero Amadis, who is entangled in a love triangle with Oriana and the enchantress Melissa. Themes of love, honor, and betrayal are explored as Amadis navigates rivalries and magical interventions, ultimately leading to his union with Oriana. This work is notable for its blend of fantasy and emotional depth, reflecting the cultural landscape of early 18th-century opera.
