The Virgin of the Sun is a five-act play written by August von Kotzebue and first published in 1799. Set in a mythological context, it delves into themes of love, duty, and societal conflict through the story of Cora, a virgin priestess of the Sun, and her forbidden romance with Alonzo, a Spaniard. The play explores the emotional turmoil of Rolla, a warrior torn between his loyalty and unrequited love for Cora, highlighting the tragic consequences of their desires against the backdrop of sacred obligations.
