Curt Manthey

The Merry Widow

Curt Manthey, Charlotte D'Avis

Danilo arid Sonio are ordered to marry to save their country from bankruptcy. They are both too proud to speak to each other at a fête in the ambassador's garden in Paris, but they are forcibly brought together by the ambassador and other courtiers present, which results in a quarrel. During the national dance Sonio appeals to the prince with such feeling that he yields to his love and proposes.
