Holger Danske

About the show

Oberon and Titania have vowed to reconcile only if they find a human couple who remain faithful through danger and temptation. They choose Holger, a knight of Charlemagne, and Rezia, daughter of the Sultan of Baghdad. Holger must fulfill a punishment by cutting a lock from the sultan’s beard and kissing Rezia. After the couple recognize each other, they are shipwrecked, enslaved and threatened with death, but Oberon and Titania free them. Holger uses a magic horn to overcome their enemies, and both couples are reunited.
