Camelot

 

Camelot sets to music beautifully T. H. White's The Once And Future King. As young Arthur ascends the throne, he prepares to receive his bride, Guenevere. Both are aprehensive of marrying someone they have never met, but are pleasantly suprised when introduced and are happily wed. Their happiness is shortlived, however. Lancelot hears in France of the Knights of the Round Table, and travels to Camelot in hopes of joining. Although he proves himself arrogant and insuffrable, Guenevere eventually falls in love with him. When Arthur learns of their love, he remains silent for the sake of the peace that Camelot has enjoyed for some time. Arthur's illegitimate son arrives and while attempting to ascend the throne, uncovers Guenevere's infidelity. Arthur is forced to declare war on his friend and wife, but forgives them both before the battle.
