For those in the audience who have lost track, in Scene Six the dark fiddler recounts what has happened so far. Warning: Abuse of innocent string instrument throughout the scene.

Libretto by the composer and his wife, based on the novel "Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe" by Gottfried Keller
Thomas Hampson - the Fiddler

The film was made in 1991 using the 1989 CD recording as its soundtrack, with the dark fiddler being the only character portrayed by the same artist on screen and off.
