An opera in one act
Libretto by ERNST VON WOLZOGEN Music by Richard Strauss (sung in German)
Diemut entices Kunrad to her room by means of a basket on a rope, but spitefully leaves him suspended because he has already kissed her. All the town lights go out and are only restored after she has yielded her ' Lirum Larum Lei,' as they call it!
