Mignon

About the show

In Germany, the wandering minstrel Lothario and student Wilhelm Meister rescue Mignon from a gypsy who threatens her. Wilhelm buys her freedom, and Mignon travels with him while falling in love. At a castle, she becomes jealous when Wilhelm favors the actress Philine, and Lothario sets fire to the conservatory after Mignon wishes it would burn. Wilhelm rescues her. In Italy, the castle’s history helps Mignon recover her memory: she realizes that Lothario is her father, and the three are reunited.
