The Kermesse in Bruges

In the scene set in Madame van Everdingen's home, music from Hérold's opera Zampa and Rossini's finale from his opera L'assedio di Corinto are heard.

Extensive sections of the marketplace scene in Act I are danced to various passages from Rossini's opera comique Le Comte Ory (1828), whilst the round dance in the same scene is taken from Paulli's music for Bournonville's ballet, The White Rose.
