As preparations are being made to place the noose about his neck,the funeral procession of the Princess approaches. Lobetanz begs to be allowed to play uponhis violin once more, declaring he can revive her. The King promises him his daughtershand if he can bring her back to life again. As Lobetanz plays, the flush of life appears uponthe cheeks of the young girl, and she slowly revives and is clasped in her lovers arms.The act closes with a merry dance, in which every one joins, and we are left to supposethat the lovers live happy ever after.
