Photo courstey of Metroplitan Opera Archive
Synopsis:
A Public square in the South of Spain, with general overall lighting. The five girls meet in
the square and immediately start vying for attention. Each one thinks that she is better than the others and tries
to prove it. This rivalry or competition is serious without becoming vicious and even playful at times. Everything
is done for and at the other girls. The dancers are not conscious of the audience.
