 We'll pick up the action of Act II in the Turkish harbor town where the slave girls in Pasha Seyed's harem are attending his favorite gulnara, sung here by Manselek Cavaye. She hates the Pasha and longs for freedom and love, and a eunuch announces that she's invited to his banquet to celebrate his victory over the pirates, even though they haven't even landed yet, and she reluctantly agrees to attend.
