when you're in love with a beautiful woman
in a rocky wilderness morald and gunther meet gernot. the former pair have been sent to find out what has happened to arindal, who disappeared eight years ago. in the meantime his father, the king, has died from grief and the kingdom is being attacked by their enemy murold who demands they surrender arindal's sister lora as his wife. gernot relates how he and arindal had hunted a beautiful doe to a river where it vanished. they heard a voice and jumped into the river where they found a beautiful woman in luxurious surroundings. she declared her love for arindal and said they could stay together provided arindal could go eight years without asking who she is. but the day before he did ask her, and arindal and gernot found themselves in the wilderness. morald and gunther depart before arindal can know of their presence. arindal appears and sings of his grief at the loss of ada ("wo find ich dich, wo wird mir trost?"). gernot tries to argue him round to believing that ada is a sorceress who has abandoned him and that he should return to his kingdom. he sings of an evil witch who had disguised herself as a beautiful woman ("war einst 'ne böse hexe wohl"). gunther returns, disguised as a priest, and continues the attempt to persuade arindal that he will be turned into a wild beast by the witch unless he returns at once; morald similarly disguises himself as the ghost of arindal's father and announces that his kingdom is threatened. each disguise is magically destroyed just as arindal is about to be convinced. however, the three are finally able to persuade him of his country's need. they agree to depart in the morning, although arindal fears he will not see ada again. when he is left alone he falls into an enchanted sleep.
