This extract is from the end of the first half of Mad King Suibhne. Suibhne has been brought forcibly to see his wife Eorann after having run away mad into the forest. In the first aria of the clip Eorann implores Suibhne, saying that she wants to be with him and love him, even through and with his madness. Suibhne is unable to give in, the mad voices softly call him back. He rejects Eorann's love and runs away, leaving Eorann desperate and alone.
