Florencia en el Amazonas
Soprano Florencia Grimaldi travels by steamboat up the Amazon to sing in Manaus, hoping her performance will bring her missing lover Cristóbal back from the jungle. Fellow passengers include journalist Rosalba, who hopes to interview Florencia, and the bickering couple Paula and Álvaro. After a storm and shipwreck, the mate Riolobo returns as a river spirit and helps restore order. Rosalba discovers Florencia’s identity and accepts her feelings for the captain’s nephew Arcadio. When the boat reaches Manaus, cholera quarantines the passengers aboard; Florencia then transforms into a butterfly and departs in spirit to reunite with Cristóbal.
