them.
Jessonda is accompanied by her women through the Portuguese camp, to
wash away in the floods of the Ganges the last traces of earthliness.
She sacrifices a rose to her early love.

Turning back into the town, she is recognized by Tristan, but alas, a
truce forbids him to make an assault on the town in order to deliver
his bride. Jessonda is led back in triumph by the High-priest Daudon,
to die an untimely death.

In the third act Nadori visits Tristan in secret, to bring the welcome
news that Daudon himself broke the truce, by sending two spies into the
enemy's camp to burn their ships. This act of treachery frees Tristan
from his oath. Nadori conducts him and his soldiers through
subterranean passages into the temple, where he arrives just in time to
save Jessonda from the High-priest's sword. She gives him hand and
heart, and Nadori is united to her sister Amazili.

Opera in two acts by KARL GRAMANN.

In the second scene Ingrid, a young girl (coach-maid), whose business
it is to direct the carioles from station to station, drives up with
the German Erhard, who meeting with a severe accident in the mountains,
is saved by her courage. Full of tenderness she dresses his wounds; he
thanks her warmly, and presents her with a miniature portrait of his
mother. She mistakes her gratitude for love, and it fills her with
happiness, which is instantly destroyed, when Helga appears and sinks
on the breast of her lover. Ingrid, a poor orphan, who never knew
father or mother, is deeply disappointed and bitterly reproaches heaven
for her hard fate. The scene is witnessed by old father Wandrup, in
whose heart it arouses long buried memories and he tries to console
Ingrid. But when she claims the right to hear more of her p
