As the story goes, Zorika, a nobleman's daughter betrothed to a man of her own class, has sudden hankering toward a return to nature, so that she agrees to elope with Joszi, a Gypsy violinist. She is, however, prevailed upon by her old nurse to drink certain magic waters that will cause her to dream of her future life. The dream shows that her real happiness does...
