Synopsis
Adèle, a young singer, goes to the court of Stuttgart to try to get a position as a singer. There she meets her friend Victor, a painter at the court. The superintendent Astucio refuses to help the young woman and refuses her during the audition. The Prince finds Adèle in tears and arranges a role for her in a work. Astucio ruins the event again by conducting the orchestra in a chaotic manner. Victor understands the music master’s game, makes him leave, and accompanies the young woman in song, which ensures her place at court.
