Der Rosenkavalier
The morning levée begins.  This means: the ceremony of the Marschallin getting up.  Several people come in.  They include: an Italian tenor who sings an aria, two Italian people called Valzacchi and Annina, who are always spreading gossip, and a notary.  When the notary tells Ochs that he needs to pay a dowry to his bride, not the other way round, Ochs is very angry.
