Lakmé

The conspirators go off, leaving Lakme alarmed and disconsolate.

After removing her jewels and placing them upon a stone table, Lakme proposes a row on the river.

After the entr'acte Lakme softly sings a slumber-song, simple as a child's prayer and as beautiful.

Lakme was one of Patti's most successful rles, and very few other singers have ventured to attempt it.
