The story, loosely based on Walter Scott's novel, is set in medieval England, torn apart by the conflict between the Saxons and the Normans. The Saxon knight Ivanho , wounded and recently returned from the Crusades, is in love with L ila, the daughter of the Muslim Isma l, but must contend with his Norman rival, Brian de Boisguilbert. Ivanho 's father, C dric, and the Norman Grand Master Beaumanoir represent the two warring factions, whilst L ila is unjustly accused and put on trial.In the second and third acts, tensions culminate in a tournament, a siege and a trial in which L ila faces the death penalty. Ivanho , despite his wounds, intervenes to defend her; Boisguilbert is defeated and the truth comes to light. In the happy ending, Ivanhoe and L ila are united, whilst Saxons and Normans are reconciled into a single English people ready to defend the kingdom. The opera concludes with a hymn to harmony and justice, celebrating the union of rival lineages under the banner of love and courage.
