About the show

Elmire believes that her coldness has driven away Erwin, her low-born suitor. Her mentor Bernardo sends her to meet an old hermit in a secluded valley. In the second act Bernardo disguises Erwin as the hermit, and Elmire confesses that she feigned indifference to satisfy social propriety. Convinced of her love, Erwin reveals himself, and the lovers reunite.
