Opening Of The Ball In A Gay Masquerade
A vivid ballroom scene unfolds as about two hundred guests in varied costumes parade to the Germania Band. Notable outfits include Ingomar, the Black Imp, Spanish dons, and Elizabethan court dress. Masks come off to lively remarks and amused gossip, with a lingering half hour of unmasking and mutual admiration.
