Mignon

Opera by Ambroise Thomas (libretto by J Barbier and Michel Carré, based on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister), produced at the Opéra-Comique, Paris, on 17 November 1866. Gypsy girl Mignon falls for Wilhelm Meister, who seems more interested in the actress Philine. After later nursing Mignon, who is injured in a fire, Wilhelm affirms his love. Mignon turns out to be the long-lost Spirata, daughter of the Lord in whose house she recuperates.
