Summary |
"Laululintunen: Laulusekainen näytelmä yhdessä näytöksessä" by Eduard Jacobson is a lighthearted play likely written in the late 19th century. This theatrical piece centers around themes of love and the struggles of the characters involved with singing and relationships. It incorporates elements of music, comedy, and the contrasts between social classes. The storyline follows Nettchen, a flower seller, and her cousin Friedel, who are faced with a personal crisis regarding their guardian, Martti, who is at risk of losing their family home due to debt. When an English lord, Loordi Mickelby, confronts them about their joyfulness and singing, he becomes intrigued and ultimately offers Nettchen a large sum of money for her flowers. This surprising windfall leads to various misunderstandings, particularly regarding feelings of love between Nettchen and Friedel. While the lord devises a plan to spark romance between them to rid himself of his annoyance with her singing, the tale unfolds through humor and ultimately resolves with a whimsical celebration of love and happiness.
