Le Villi

About the show

Roberto and Anna celebrate their engagement before Roberto leaves to collect an inheritance. He is enchanted by a siren and forgets Anna, who waits through the seasons and dies in winter. Her father calls on the Villi, spirits who punish those who betray women who die of heartbreak. When Roberto returns, penniless and remorseful, Anna and the Villi lure him into the forest and dance him to death.
