Detailed explanation of merry widow's plot

Scene 1: Jetta, the ambassador of Pentvedro, is holding a grand birthday party to celebrate his king's birthday. French son Casca sang a congratulatory message on behalf of the guests, and everyone responded. At this time, the ambassador and distinguished guests are waiting for the arrival of the beautiful young widow Mrs. Hannah. Hannah's husband, a banker, died after eight days of marriage, leaving Hannah with 20 million pounds. This property, together with her wealth, makes her a hunting target for bachelors in Paris and a social butterfly in Paris. Jetta, the hero, is worried at this time. If she marries a French man, it means that the whole country is bankrupt, so the state gives him instructions to "absolutely protect her". After a chorus praising the motherland, the guests began to talk about the widow. Embassy counselor Cromo congratulated the Ambassador's ball on its success and praised Jetta's wife for her beauty. What Jetta didn't realize was that Camier, a Parisian playboy, was seducing his wife, Francia, who sang "I am a chaste wife" to resist his attack, but her heart was actually shaken. The ambassador came over and told his wife to keep an eye on widow Hannah. Mrs. Plaskovia, the wife of Pritchotchke, the military attache of the embassy, told the story of the widow to people who didn't know. The guests speculated who would marry the widow, and the ambassador was deeply moved: "widow Hannah must never marry a foreigner." Jetta sent Negus, the secretary of the embassy, to send a letter to Count Danilo, the secretary of the embassy, telling him that his motherland needed him to do something extremely important and confidential. Jetta intends to use this handsome bachelor as a shield for French men to attack Hannah. If Hannah marries him, it can prevent property from flowing into Paris, but this Danilovic drinks all day and hangs out with dancers in Paris. Negus searched all the places where the count might go, and finally found the drunken Count Danilo in the famous Maxim Hotel. At this moment, Mrs. Hannah came in gracefully. Although she is still in mourning, she is still smiling, and men are paying attention to her. The chief secretary of the embassy also called her "merry widow". Hannah couldn't help singing Mazzuca's song "I'm not used to life in Paris": "I'm not used to the air in Paris, so I don't understand your beautiful praise …". At this time, the orchestral music changed to waltz, and Hannah invited everyone to an indigenous banquet and danced all night. Men echoed her and danced around her.

Ambassador Jetta took the opportunity to say that she is a very sincere and frank person, and can be compared with Count Danilo, secretary of the noble embassy. Hannah was so excited when she heard the name of Count Danilo that she walked into the ballroom. In fact, Danilo and Hannah used to be a couple. Later, due to the opposition of the aristocratic Danilo's family to his marriage with Hannah, Danilo could not break away from the family bondage and came to Paris, and Hannah became the wife of a rich man. Hannah hates that Danilo has no man's courage, and Danilo hates that Hannah sells herself to money.

Danilo left love and came to Paris, indulging in debauchery every day. Now ask him to apply for Hannah's marriage. He had mixed feelings in his heart, so he went to the stage drunk. He saw his friend Nicholas singing "Go to Maxim". I went to see the hotel ladies, Lolo, Duoduo, Youyou, Chloe, Fulu and so on. Everyone has a lovely nickname.

Hannah saw Danilo and pretended to be arrogant on the surface, so everyone broke up. Knowing that Danilo hadn't slept for three or four days, Negus, the clerk of the embassy, advised him to find a quiet corner to have a rest secretly. Danilo covered himself with curtains. Hannah is dancing and looking for a place to relax. She happened to meet Danilo and woke him up. Danilo looked upset, but when he saw it was Hannah, he immediately greeted her kindly. Camier was fascinated by francine, and they sang a duet "Happy Family" together.

At this time, Ambassador Jetta earnestly and repeatedly asked Danilo to try to marry Hannah to save the country's economic crisis. At the end of the dance, surrounded by many men, Hannah stepped onto the stage again. Everyone asked her to choose a lucky person to dance with her, and men flocked to Mrs. Hannah. Hannah avoided the crowd and chose Danilo, but Danilo said that she was willing to sell this right at the price of 10,000 francs. Everyone was reluctant to spend money and gradually left. Only Danilo and Hannah were left on the stage, and they danced a beautiful waltz. And sang the famous (duet) Happy Widow Waltz.

Act II: Hannah's mansion garden. In the preface of Polish dance music, Hannah said that she wanted to relive life in her hometown. In the Balkan-style ballet, Hannah sang the hometown folk song "Song of Vilia" for the guests, and Ambassador Jetta congratulated her on her patriotic enthusiasm. Hannah told the ambassador, "She was deeply distressed that Count Danilo avoided her and was surprised that he was obsessed with the entertainment activities of Maxim Hotel." Obviously, she still loves Count Danilo.

Jetta's anxiety increased because he didn't find Danilo after the dance. At this time Danilo came to power. He really still loves Hannah, but he is afraid that people will think that he values Hannah's wealth. Hannah asked him why he was avoiding her, and sang a duet "Girls, please look up at this silly knight". Negesi, an employee of the embassy, stepped onto the stage. He told Jetta that Camier was determined to marry Hannah for the sake of wealth. Natalie horler and Brusher, ambitious for Hannah, challenged each other to a duel, but Danilo stopped them and threatened to expose their affair with the wives of two other gentlemen.

Then Hannah told the guests that dinner was about to start and went into the house. Jetta and the men are talking about women while drinking, and the male voice is singing a woman's song "It's hard to learn to study women". They discussed how to win women's hearts. Hannah said to Danilo in French, "I want to know more about Paris". When Carol came, she invited him to dance. When everyone entered the dining room, Camier and the ambassador's wife valentina came out from the depths of the park. Camier was fascinated by valentina. valentina wrote "I am a chaste wife" on her fan, handed it to Camier, and urged him to marry Hannah quickly. Unwilling, Camier still sang the courtship song "Like a Rosebud in May", and the two sweetly sang the romantic "There is a cabin over there". Jetta came out and found someone in the room. Seeing his wife kissing Camier through the keyhole, she shouted at the restaurant. Under the guidance of Negus, Francina escaped secretly. Introduce Hannah who just walked by. When everyone arrived, they saw Hannah and Camier coming out of the room. Hannah publicly announced that Camier was her fiance. Jetta was stunned. After Danielle was hit, she finally sang "There were a pair of princes and princesses in ancient times" to express her sincerity to Hannah.

Act III: Hannah's House In order to make Danilo happy, Hannah changed the interior into the style of Maxim Hotel, and the dancers entered the venue under Maxim melody. They sang "The Dancer's Song". Francine is introducing the dancers one by one: Lolo, Dole, Youyou, Fulu, Chloe and so on. Sitting there, Danilo turned a blind eye, which made Hannah feel happy and surprised, so she told Danilo frankly that she would not marry Camier. That day, she sneaked into the cabin to cover up a married lady's affair. After listening to Hannah's explanation, Danilo decided to marry her. Unexpectedly, Hannah added, "According to my late husband's last words, if I remarry, I will lose all my property. When Danilo heard this, he couldn't wait to say, "This is the best result. "He still proposed to Hannah. After Hannah agreed to his proposal, she announced, "But after remarriage, all the inheritance belongs to my new husband. "

After many twists and turns, all shall be well, jack shall have Jill, and Ambassador Jetta's mission was successfully completed. Everyone was very happy. Hannah sang a song with everyone: "Studying women is a very difficult knowledge". Curtain falls
