May Night

About the show

Levko and Hanna are in love, but the Mayor also pursues Hanna. Levko tells Hanna the story of Pannochka, a drowned maiden who leads the rusalki and seeks the witch who became her stepmother. Levko rallies the village lads to mock the Mayor, whose household is thrown into confusion by their tricks. At the pond, Pannochka asks Levko to identify the witch among the rusalki. He recognizes her, and the rusalki drag her into the water. Pannochka gives Levko a letter instructing the Mayor to allow his marriage to Hanna, and the villagers celebrate.
