Der Opernball

About the show

During Carnival in Paris, Marguérite and Angèle test their husbands’ fidelity by arranging masked meetings at an opera ball with ladies wearing pink dominoes. The husbands mistake one another and the chambermaid Hortense for their intended partners. Back home, confusion escalates toward a duel until the wives reveal their intact dominoes and Hortense’s part is exposed.
