La Camargo

About the show

At the Paris Opera, Mandrin poses as the Chevalier de Valjoly while pursuing dancer La Camargo. Spanish aristocrat Juana recognizes him as the robber who visited her during a confusing dream, but protects his identity and hides a stolen necklace. Mandrin later captures Camargo and others at his castle. After the prisoners escape, Mandrin disguises himself as a detective, but Camargo learns of his plan to abduct her. Disguised as a street performer, she exposes him to Juana; when Pontcalé’s troops surround the house, Camargo takes pity on Mandrin and lets him flee Paris.
