Die junge verheiratete Contessa Carlotta reist für eine Opernsaison nach Neapel und verliebt sich leidenschaftlich in den Sänger Gasparo Conti.

Einen Sommer lang begleitet sie ihn und erlebt rauschhafte Wochen der Musik, der Verführung und des erotischen Raffinements. »Ich bewundere die Holländerin Margriet de Moor ...
