About the show

In the opening ballet-pantomime, Pierrot exposes Harlequin’s flirtation with Colombina, but the innkeeper eventually blesses their relationship. In the next acts, the mayor plots to abduct Colombina with help from the night-watchman, while Pierrot remains jealous and flirts with her. Pierrot and the others overhear the plot and stage a false doctor scene to thwart the men. The mayor and night-watchman are frightened by the four lovers disguised as ghosts. The innkeeper finally accepts marriages between Harlequin and Colombina, and Pierrot and Katuška.
