Sadly it is only the concert suite, but it leaves room for three other ballets, Rinaldo and Armida (1954), Electra (1963) and Sweeney Todd (1959) prepared by David Ellis, the latter a hilarious piece of tongue in cheek.
Ruggiero ignores the problem, since he interprets the episode entirely via Tasso's contention in the Discorsi that epic and romance are essentially one genre: Rinaldo and Armida rewrite Aeneid 4 as a romance ending for Dido and Aeneas, transcending both Vergilian epic and the historic destruction of Carthage.
