Iris

About the show

Iris, the innocent daughter of the blind Il Cieco, lives happily with her father. Osaka, seeking adventure, arranges to have her kidnapped and taken to Kyoto’s geisha house in Yoshiwara. Osaka tries to seduce Iris but gives up and tells Kyoto to get rid of her. Kyoto displays her to the crowd; Il Cieco arrives, believes she abandoned him, and curses her. Iris becomes mad and throws herself into a sewer. The next morning she revives, hears the voices of Osaka, Kyoto, and her father, then dies as she feels the rising sun.
