her sight through the power of love.

1 . Overture.

2. Chorus of Sicilian peasantry, who are rejoicing in the
beauties of their valley.

3. They are met by Marta and Beatrice, attendants of tlie
Princess, who, while joining in their song of satisfaction,
lament that so much happiness is denied to their mistress by
the cruelty of a wicked enchanter, the latter having caused her
to be born blind. This unhappy fate can only be remedied by
making his victim realize how much she has lost, and creating
in her a desire for sight. It is almost impossible to effect this,
as her parents' love has hitherto shielded her fiom all
knowledge of her misfortune, and of the fact that she is in any
way different to those about her.

4. Marta and Beatrice further relate how, while the
Princess sits at her casement, the notes of a lute are oftentimes
heard intermingling with those of the birds.

5. Song of the Troubadour.

6. Chonis, in which the peasants tell that they, too, have
seen the Troul)atlour, and Beatrice describes how she watched
him offer the Princess a red rose and a white, begging her to
return the white if she could not love him, but the red if she
would try to do so. Of course the Princess, knowing no
difference in color, is puzzled, and cannot answer.

7. Chorus of rejoicing that the enchanter's spell is likely
to be broken.

8. Tolanthe' muses over the red and white roses, but
cannot tell which is which. The intense longing to do so
quickens her apprehension — wakes her realize a want — the
Troubadour explains her loss — she understands — desires — sa's !

9. Marta tells Beatrice that the Troubadour is the Prince
to whom lolanthe' has been long 1)etrothed.

10. Rejoicings of both over the happiness experienced by
their mistress. She joins them, and dilates on the rapture she
feels in her new acquisition.

11. They are interrupted by the " Angelus," and extol its
sweetness.

12. Marta invokes a blessing on the Prince and Princess,
and calls on those around to hasten with the gkd tidings to the
King.

13. lolanthe' vows to make the rose her future emblem.
Chorus of good wishes and congratulation to bride and
bridegroom.
