Act I
Table 1. At the palace
Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter. Remaining a widower, the emperor remarried a beautiful woman. The curtain rises and we are at our new wife's birthday party. The guests come to worship the empress, bringing her the most beautiful gifts. She thanks the dancers for coming to the castle with a dance. At this moment, the emperor's daughter, Snow White, also appears.
Proud and proud, the empress asks the palace mirrors: "Who is the most beautiful in the country?" They answer immediately: you are beautiful, Crăiasă, but Snow White is even more beautiful. Enraged, the empress chases the young woman with the guests from the palace, and the party ends. It doesn't take long for the angry queen to call the court hunter. He is ordered to kill the young Snow White, somewhere far away, in the woods, and he will be rewarded for his service.
Table 2. In the forest
The hunter follows Snow White to carry out the order received. As the hunter raises his dagger to kill the young princess, terrible lightning strikes the sky. The man runs away frightened, and the girl, frightened, faints. The forest envelops the princess, bringing her back to her senses through the dances of fireflies, mushrooms, dragonflies, and flowers. It seems to the girl that everything is a dream.
Tired, Snow White is looking for a place to shelter when, in the moonlight, she sees the dwarfs' modest house. He goes into the cottage and goes to bed.
Meanwhile, at the palace, impatiently, the empress again asks the enchanted mirrors if she is now the most beautiful in the kingdom, but their answer is that Snow White remains the most beautiful. Angry, the stepmother sets off to the depths of the forest to find the girl and kill her.
Table 3. In the house of the dwarves
The dwarfs in the forest return home. But they are very surprised when they see that they are missing food and drink, a sign that there is an intruder in their house. Puzzled, they discover a girl sleeping in one of the cribs. At first they are angry, but after meeting Snow White and realizing her candor and kindness, the seven dwarfs fall in love with her. In turn, Snow White thanks them for their hospitality and decides to stay with them and help them with their business. She tells them her sad fate and they, moved, adopt her as one of their own.
Act II
Table 4.
It's the morning in the yard of the dwarf house. All the breath of the forest wakes up and, with it, the dwarves. Snow White asks them not to talk to anyone about her presence in their house, for fear that the palace might hear that she is still alive. The seven dwarfs go to work.
Disguised as a merchant, however, the cunning Empress walks around the house. He finds the girl and attracts her with various shiny objects, but the girl likes an apple that will be fatal to her, being poisoned. Biting the fruit, the princess falls as if harvested in a deep, enchanted sleep.
The forest animals, Snow White's friends, come to visit her. The squirrels and the bunny are the ones who find her unconscious and anxiously looking for a way to save her. The dwarves, alarmed by the birds and geese of the forest, return home in a hurry, discovering the misfortune. Sadly, they place their girlfriend on a bed of leaves and they all pass by her head to say goodbye.
Somewhere in the distance, hunting signals are heard. A prince is approaching. Curious about what is happening in the dwarf yard, he asks those around him why they are so sad. The handsome prince sees Snow White lying on the bed, with whom she immediately falls in love. Looking at her intently, however, he noticed the apple in her hand. He grabs it and throws it on the ground. The spell shattered like a dream. In the rain of stars, Snow White wakes up to life. The young woman, amazed by everything that happened to her, sees the prince next to her and thanks to him for saving her. She falls in love with him.
The two dance in the name of their love and decide to go to the palace to ask the king for a blessing. All the breath of the forest is invited to the wedding. The procession starts, and the young bride and groom, together with the dwarves and the forest animals, head for the palace.
