The Firefly is a comedic opera that was first performed in 1912, written by Otto Hauerbach. The story follows the adventures of a young Italian noblewoman named Nina who disguises herself as a commoner and takes on the job of a governess in order to escape an arranged marriage. She falls in love with a wealthy American businessman named Jack, but complications arise when her true identity is revealed and she must choose between her love for Jack and her duty to her family. The opera is set against a backdrop of romantic Italian scenery, with lively musical numbers and witty dialogue. It is a charming and lighthearted tale of love, deception, and the pursuit of happiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
