People are drinking beer happily around the table, making noise and talking and laughing. At this time, after her daughter was abducted as a child, she traveled around the world. Lotario, who was looking for her everywhere, came to the stage with a harp and sang a tearful song: Sleepless from one door to another.
He said, "Walking through village after village, wandering around, where is my home ... dragging my tired feet all over the world, my dear daughter, where are you?" The villagers invited him to sit together, drink a glass of wine and sing happily. At this time, a group of gypsies also passed by to have a rest. After a long journey, they were very tired, and most of them were too tired to lift their feet.
When they raised their glasses again, a group of gypsy girls came in and danced. Yano was standing in the van, while the girl slept behind him. Accompanied by violins, tambourines and oboes, the musicians were lured by this music, and Felina and Lyle proposed to watch the dance on the balcony. Laerte was deeply attracted by gypsy woman's dance, while Felina was moved by their free blood.
After the dance, Yano announced that "here is the little girl's egg dance." Fan Niang refused to dance because she was tired, and the head of the team, Yano, was going to hit her with a stick. Lotario, protect her immediately. Young student William mestel also pulled out a pistol and threatened the head of the delegation, saying, "If you dare to insult her again, I will shoot."
Yano immediately demanded compensation, and Felina immediately threw him a bag of money. In order to thank her for her help, Mi Niang presented a bunch of flowers to William, while Felina was interested in young people with chivalry. This is a sextet of Jarno and Laertes. Fellina and Lotario who appreciate William, the happy fan Niang and the humble William are all wondering who they are.
When everyone left and only William was having breakfast, Laertes came to him and said, "Felina and I are both actors." Then ask his name and occupation. William sang a vibrant aria: "full of vitality, free to move towards a better life."
He said: "I used to be a student of Vienna University, named William mestel, but now I leave school and rely on my father's legacy to travel and study in various countries."
When Laerte and Felina talked about their life stories, Felina also came to say hello. From William's eyes, she soon found that he also had a strong interest in himself. William praised her beauty. They made an appointment to meet again and then parted.
At this time, Mi Niang appeared in front of William. When they talked about their childhood, Mi Niang said, "She doesn't know where she was born, who her parents are, or her real name. She only remembers that when she was a child, one summer evening, she was sitting by the lake, abducted by a rude man, and then drifted around. " However, this Fan Niang said, "I remember a song", so she sang the famous aria "Do you know the South China?" She said: "You know the South China where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, the country of Huang Jinguo, and the country of wild roses. The wind is particularly soft and the birds are particularly blowing;" Smile and shine under the blue sky! Looking around my hometown, I am sad alone, and I am bound by fate. I miss my hometown, and I will never forget it, my hometown, my hometown, my hometown. " In this song, the scenery of roses in my hometown and buildings decorated with marble are described.
At this time, Yano appeared. He said to William, "If you like this girl, pay the price and let her be free." So William and Yano negotiated the price and redeemed the freedom of the obsessed mother. When Mi Niang was happy about it, Luo Tario came to announce that he was leaving. Knowing that Mi Niang was free, he held the harp and sang "If I Can Walk with Swallows" with Mi Niang. This is a song full of longing.
At this moment, Felina came. Mother Fan left first because she didn't like this frivolous woman, and then Frederick, who loved Felina, came to see her. Suddenly, Laerte appeared happily with a letter. It turned out to be an invitation letter from Baron Rothburg, which said, "Please come and perform during the stay of Marquis Diffbach …" The Baron is Frederick's uncle. When this group of people were going to take the carriage sent by the baron, William also decided to leave here.
When William said goodbye to the fan Niang, she didn't want to break up with William, and William refused to take her with her. When she reluctantly set off with Lotario, it was William who couldn't bear to say goodbye to them this time and finally decided to act together.
When the actors sang "Song of Travel" happily, the gypsies sang along. Then, Felina sang a light and charming love song "If you love me, please come with me".
William walked up to Felina, who was about to leave, and expressed his hope to meet again. When fan Niang found the bouquet that Ferina gave William, she felt sad. Soon, the girl said goodbye to her gypsy friends, and everyone embarked on their own journey with great interest. Scene 1 The elegant lounge of Baron Rothburg's residence
There is a window on the right, a stove and a cupboard on the left. The room is beautifully decorated, with dresser, sofa, clothes rack and other furniture. Before the opening ceremony, the orchestra played "Golden Harvest Dance", which is a delicate, light and gorgeous interlude and a favorite dance of French nobles. After the curtain rose, Felina sat quietly in the boudoir. She dresses herself up very beautifully because she wants to conquer more love prisoners. Actor Laerte came in and warned that the baron had the key to the room. Then he sang her an idyll: "Beauty! Please sympathize with me. I'm sorry that William may not come, but Felina believes he will arrive. Just then, William appeared as expected. Laerte said that A Midsummer Night's Dream would be staged tonight, and then he left first. When he found Fan Niang who looked like a servant, he also invited her to come home. At this time, William poured out his love to Felina eagerly. Felina smiled happily, but the girl who secretly loved her master was embarrassed and had to pretend to doze off in groups of three.
After the couple left, the fan Niang suddenly had a whim to see if she was more charming than her rival in love. So I tried on Felina's clothes, imitated Felina's makeup, and sang "I know I am a poor man" in front of the mirror! This light song is also very similar to Felina's song. Suddenly driven by an idea, she walked into the lounge.
Instead, Frederick flew into the room, only to meet William who came back to find his girlfriend. The two immediately understood that the other party was a rival in love, and if they didn't agree, they drew swords and turned into a tense scene of duel. At this time, the girl in Felina's clothes came out to stop the fight. Frederick laughed when he saw her, said the duel was suspended and turned away.
William felt that it was a mistake to make Mi Niang a servant. He sang "Goodbye Mi Niang" with regret, saying that he could not always take her around and wanted to give her some money to leave. But that Fan Niang said that she didn't want his money. After kissing his hand, she said that she could make a living by dancing in the street. As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes. In the end, William couldn't bear to get rid of his fans.
At this time, Felina and Frederic came back together. William said that fan Niang stole Felina's clothes, which was just a child's prank. Please forgive her. But Felina said, give it to her if she likes it! Unexpectedly, Fan Niang angrily pulled open the chain and ran into the dressing room. Felina said, "The child is jealous of me." William, who had never noticed his mother's thoughts, was shocked and speechless.
Laerte in costume and other actors came in and said, "Where is Tijuana?" When the music was played in the second act, they were anxiously looking for Felina. Felina left with William. Fan Niang put on her original costume, said "I hate Felina" and ran away.
Scene 2 Baron's yard
Worried about love, the troubled girl went to the yard, said to herself, "William is in love with her", and then stood by the pond. When she tried to drown herself after singing "The Wandering Girl is Calling ...", the sound of the harp suddenly woke her up. Lotario appeared in time and asked her, "Are you Sparda? But when he knew that the girl was his fan, he immediately hugged her and comforted her. This is a duet full of sad thoughts.
Soon, cheers came from the castle. Fan Niang said that everyone was cheering for Felina's singing, and then she sang like a curse: "I hope this theater will be turned into a flame by the hand of God ..." Then she left. Lotario muttered "flame, flame" and followed her. "
After the play, everyone came to the yard. They surrounded Felina and praised her. So Felina, dressed as the fairy queen, happily sang the aria of the famous coloratura soprano: "I am a blonde." She said: "I am a beautiful Tijuana, a flower in the air, an elf in the wind, and a mountain." I use my imaginary wings to fly among the clouds ...! When the outdoor play was wonderful, Felina forgot to bring the bouquet that Maister gave her. In order to stimulate the fans, she was sent back to the castle to find it. It turns out that Lotario, an old pianist, has set fire to the castle according to the curse of Mi Niang. In the raging fire, Maister rushed to the castle and rescued Mi Niang in a critical situation, while his lover lying in his arms was unconscious.
When everyone cheered for Felina, William came back, and Felina complained that you didn't see my performance on stage! William explained that Mi Niang was missing. Just then, Mi Niang and Luo Tario appeared, and Luo Tario whispered to Mi Niang, "I have done as you want." . In order to stimulate the fan Niang, Felina sent her back to the castle to get the bouquet from William. Fan Niang stayed in the castle and didn't return. There was smoke from the castle window and flames were rising. In order to save the lost mother, William chased after her and soon took the half-burned bouquet back to her. Italian monasteries are dotted with many statues.
After the prelude of the harp, the curtain rises, and the chorus "The wind is full of sails, the stars are shining ..." is sounded, and the sailors are brewing the atmosphere of the South China (sometimes deleted). Then Lotario appeared, and he sang a lullaby for the girl of his dreams: "I calmed the child's broken heart".
At this time, the attendants Antonio and William appeared by candlelight. Antonio explained: "Although tomorrow is a lively lake festival, this family has been silent for 15 years. When the master's little daughter was playing with water, she disappeared with only a red hat. My mother died of excessive grief, and my father went crazy to leave home and went to various countries to find his daughter. This home is going to be auctioned. "
Antonio looked at Lotario's face strangely and left. William said to himself, "If the fans like it, I'm going to buy Kipling's house." At this time, the old man trembled, jumped up and shouted, "Is it Kiplini?" Then run to the back door that has been closed 15.
William felt pity for his dead mother in his sleep, recalled the thoughts hidden in his heart for a long time, and sang a romantic song: "Let the flowers bloom again, poor dead mother".
Just then, Antonio came with a letter, which was given to William by Laertes. The letter wrote: "In order to find you, Felina came to the other side of Lake Garda. Ran away. " At this moment, the girl with loose hair and a white gown stood up. After the theater caught fire, she often got sick with fever, and miraculously recovered as soon as she arrived here. Fan Niang said, "This house looks familiar!" Then raise your eyes and look around. Then William and Mi Niang sang a song "Sadness is far away, Happiness is coming".
Seeing the budding fan Niang, William couldn't help but confide his love to her, but the fan Niang asked doubtfully, "Aren't you in love with Felina?" When William said "No way, I love you", Felina's song "I am Titan" came from far away. Fan Niang said excitedly, "That song is calling you" and then fainted. William held her in his arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I love you!" " " .
At this moment, Lotario appeared in noble clothes. He said, "I once lost my memory. In fact, I am the owner of this mansion, Marquis Kipling. " Then he took a small box and gave it to Mi Niang. And told her, "This is something for my daughter, Sparda.". The Fan Niang opened her eyes and said, "This name is familiar." Then she took out the scriptures in the small box and read them. At this time, fan Niang felt that there were many strange memories coming to her mind. She asked where this was. When William answered that it was Italy, she immediately blurted out that there was a portrait of her mother. Luo Tario shouted excitedly: "You are my daughter!" So the father and daughter embraced excitedly. At the end of the play, the versions are slightly different, as described below.
French version: Since his daughter was abducted by gypsies, the Marquis has traveled all over the world looking for his beloved daughter. God helped those who helped him, and the Marquis finally found his daughter. So he betrothed his lost mother to William and wished the young couple to live with them in this city. Finally, the two happily sang: "Do you know the South China", which ended in the chorus of "Oh, Happy Days".
At the end of the following French version is the plot of the premiere version, but it was later deleted by the composer. Only when the father and daughter reunited, William married the mysterious mother, and the three praised God together.
The scene is the shore of Lake Garda.
Sunrise rises on Lake Garda, which is a festival in Lake Garda. On the right is the hotel, a little further away is the Italian house, and behind it is the sailboat. Young men and women in holiday clothes are dancing. Felina walked out of the hotel and sang a beautiful Flanagan dance: "If you take a beautiful woman as your lover, the sun will always shine." . Let's dance in a circle! "At this moment, Laertes came over and seduced her." Let's get out of here and get married, "but Felina told him," Please stop. I'm here to get back at my mother. At this moment, Fan Niang appeared. "
Fan Niang couldn't stand Ferina's mocking eyes and fainted in Lotario's arms. Felina sarcastically said, "I don't understand your highness's respect", and then extended her hand to bless the fans. The local people sang praises to Marquis Kipling. Marquis Kipling returned safely and was still alive. William finally tied the knot with two couples, including Fanny, Ferina and Frederic, and ended up singing "Oh, Happy Days".
Felina's songs are from the German version again. Fan Niang seems to be mad. When she opened the door, Felina, Laerte and Frederic came in. Staring intently at Felina's infatuated mother, she suddenly fell in William's arms and died.
