Arabella's drama information.

Act I A room in the Vienna Hotel. 1860

After a brief overture, the curtain rose. Waldner's wife Adelaide is asking a fortune teller to predict their future, and Zhidenka, who is wearing men's clothes in the corner, is sorting out books. At this time, Waldner was in an awkward position because he lost the only money in the gambling card and was leaving the hotel tomorrow. The wife entrusted her only hope to the marriage partner of her beautiful eldest daughter arabella.

The fortune teller said, "The groom is called by a letter." Adelaide secretly hopes that she can become a rich suitor. Just then, someone sent a reminder. When the fortune teller asked Chidenka, Adelaide explained that the reason why she dressed as a woman was that "it was too expensive to send her two daughters to Vienna". The fortune teller warned: "Local officials and daughters must be careful when they see swords."

Matteo's debut. He was thinking about his beloved arabella, and Zhidenka comforted him by saying, "My sister is in love with you. Have you received her letter? " In fact, this is a trick played by Chidenka who loves Matteo. Matteo always thought Chidenka was a teenager, so he asked Chidenka to help him get arabella's love and left.

Arabella's debut. Although the suitor sent many beautiful and expensive gifts, it could not make her happy. Arabella advised Chidenka beside him to stop wearing men's clothes. Then she sang: "The man I really want to marry is undoubtedly the one who can give me happiness."

Soon, she found a young man outside the house, fascinated by his eyes. At this time, Jeremiah came, wanted to please arabella, invited arabella, who was in a bad mood, to go out and sit on the sledge, and then retreated first. However, when arabella saw the young people outside, his whole heart was robbed by him.

Mr. and Mrs. Waldner came in and the girls quit. The bankrupt Waldner is waiting for a reply from his former military friend Slavonia. This letter is accompanied by a beautiful portrait of arabella, trying to lure him to marry his own daughter, so as to get him out of poverty.

When they were worried about the result, the servant came in and reported that Mr. Slavonia was visiting. Waldner was glad that Slavonia came so soon, but this is a young man. As soon as I saw Waldner, I quickly explained, "My name is Mandeli Cass, and I am Mr. lavinia's nephew and heir. I mistook the letter you sent to my late uncle for mine. When I opened it, there was a portrait of arabella inside. Because I was deeply fascinated by her beautiful shadow, I came to propose. " Waldner was overjoyed to hear that his family was rich and invited him to meet at the dance.

Then Matteo came again and asked Ridenka, "Where's arabella's letter?" The answer is "you can get it at the dance tonight". After Matteo left, arabella, who was going to take the sleigh, came to urge her sister. After hearing Chidenka's sarcastic remark, arabella sang the famous monologue "My Jeremiah".

The music at this time is one of the most important music in this opera. In the swaying rhythm, it shows arabella's noble and sincere personality. She had a premonition that something was going to happen to the dance. The scene changes to Fiaka's ball.

Lounge leading to the dance floor

Adelaide and arabella appeared at the urging of the knights. Arabella saw Mandelika waiting for her and said to herself, "It's time". After introducing only two people, arabella said to Mandelika; "You are really different," Mandelika said frankly. "I am fascinated by your portrait." At the dance, when other suitors invited her to waltz, she refused.

Mandelika told her confidently: "As long as you can be my wife, you will get the richest life." Arabella was finally convinced that he was the real man he was waiting for, so they made a vow of eternal love. This is the only beautiful aria in the whole play, which embodies the harmony of two hearts.

Then arabella said that she wanted to enjoy the "Night of Farewell to Girls", and Mandelika allowed her to act alone for an hour. At this moment, Fiyaka Millie appeared. She presented flowers to arabella and sang beautifully, "Every Viennese man knows". The whole scene immediately boiled. This is the fast polka.

When Chidenka, Mandelika and Adelaide were in high spirits, arabella danced the last waltz with the suitors. In the meantime, Zhidengka gave Matteo the key to her sister's room, but Mandelika found it. In the corner of the ball, Count Dominic is courting arabella's mother.

After a while, when Mandelika asked Fiaka Millie, "Where is the queen?" He realized that arabella was not here. He flew into a rage at the thought of the key. Now he also received a letter from arabella, which said, "From tomorrow on, it will be yours." He remembered what she had just said: "farewell to girls' night", so he gave up on himself and sang folk songs with Fiaka Millie.

At this time, the Waldner couple who found the atmosphere very wrong appeared. In order to prove arabella's innocence, they immediately rushed to the hotel.

The third act is in the hotel room

The prelude expresses people's inner tension, anxiety and desire.

The curtain went up. The bell rang, Matteo hid, and arabella entered the house. She was immersed in love and thoughtfully. Arabella found Matteo at this moment and told him "If you want to talk, not now". He listened, ecstatic, and soon arabella found something strange, so he shouted for help.

At this time, Waldner and Mandelika rushed in together. Mandelica learned that Matteo was the one who got the key, so she accused arabella of disloyalty. At this moment, Matteo said nothing, and arabella fell into despair after being suspected by Mandelica.

Mandelika shouted angrily, "I want to fight!" "And expose the scene of giving keys that I just saw at the dance. When arabella heard this, he immediately realized the truth of the whole incident, but he didn't want to defend himself. At this time, Zhidengka, dressed in women's clothes, appeared, and she admitted that everything was her fault. When Matteo first saw the true face of Zhidengka and heard her voice, she was deeply moved. Mandelika was ashamed of being too suspicious, and immediately begged arabella's forgiveness. Arabella saw that his sister was indeed more beautiful than himself. At this time, Matteo and Zhidenka immediately fell in love.

When arabella and Mandelika were alone, she asked Mandelika to bring her a glass of water and then went into the dormitory. After a while, she came out with two glasses of water in her hand. She said, "I just want to drink this glass of water alone tonight. Your behavior makes me very satisfied. It was a great force that led me to you. " Then she solemnly announced: "On the night of farewell to the girl, I will dedicate this pure drink to you!" " "Mandelika replied," Only I belong to you, and I won't allow others to drink this cup again. " Then he drank the water and broke the cup. Two people swear it again love each other forever. The curtain fell.
