La campana sommersa

About the show

When the Faun throws Enrico’s church bell into a lake, the bell maker despairs. Elf Rautendelein enters the human world and restores his strength. They fall in love, and Enrico abandons his wife Magda, who kills herself by jumping into the lake. Hearing the bell ring underwater, Enrico rejects Rautendelein. She becomes Ondino’s wife; later, as Enrico is dying, she visits him once more and kisses him.
