Fatinitza

About the show

Russian Lieutenant Wladimir once disguised himself as a woman named Fatinitza, and General Kantschukoff fell in love with that identity. When the disguise is revived during a soldiers’ play, Wladimir and Lydia are captured by a Turkish governor; his wives help them escape. The General promises Lydia to another man, but a mistaken report that Fatinitza has been found and a forged story about her death lead him to give Lydia to Wladimir.
