Der Corregidor

About the show

In an Andalusian village in 1804, miller Lukas overhears the Corregidor courting his wife Frasquita. Frasquita refuses the Corregidor’s advances, and when the man falls into the millstream she leaves to tell Lukas and the Corregidora what happened. Lukas sees the Corregidor’s clothes and a notary appointment, assumes Frasquita has been unfaithful, and goes to the Corregidor’s house disguised as him. The Corregidor is mistaken for Lukas in turn. The Corregidora sorts out the identities and the events, and Lukas and Frasquita reconcile.
