(The action passes at the Court of Leon and extends over a summer’s afternoon, ) . (The dialogue of the operetta will be spoken by Misses Hffie Brice and Ngaire Coster and Messrs.

Synopsis: At the end of a pseudo-love scene between the amorous Regent and the bored Donna Agnes, the former promises that on receipt of a piece of Agnes’s ribbon as a "love token,’ he will extend Coutt protection’to young Phillipe d’Aguilar, who is a newly-arrived friend of Agnes’s, but who is also the son of the Regent’s old and hated political rival, Ferdinand d’Aguilar. Later, Phillipe dolefully relates to Agnes how he once rescued & lovely maiden from a runaway horse, and fell madly in love with her, only to find that she was the Queen. He, of course, despairs of winning her, and begs Agnes to try to get him a troop of horse that he may go away and fight the Moors. She naively tells him to give her ribbon to the Regent, who will grant his request. This is as she says, but later Phillipe surprises the Queen in the garden, In view of his projected departure, he kisses her, and is discovered in the act by the Regent, who demands that he pay the traditional death penalty therefor. The Queen, however, who is really in love with Phillipe all the time, induces the Regent, by 2 clever woman’s ruse, also to kiss her, thus bringing him, too, within reach of the old law. Under the circumstances the Regent waives Phillipe’s offence, and the latter is married to the Queen, both living happily ever after. Overture-Orchestra, "Overture to the Sleeping Queen" (Balfe).
