The Merry Widow

Inhoud

Danilo arid Sonio are ordered to marry to save their country from bankruptcy. They are both too proud to speak to each other at a fête in the ambassador's garden in Paris, but they are forcibly brought together by the ambassador and other courtiers present, which results in a quarrel. During the national dance Sonio appeals to the prince with such feeling that he yields to his love and proposes.
