Excerpt from The Great Operas: The Romantic Legends Upon Which the Masters of Song Have Founded Their Famous Lyrical Compositions
Act II. - When the curtain rises again it is upon a scene in the hostelry of John in Leyden, and the action is introduced by a waltz and drinking-chorus, in which many people participate. John waits upon his numerous customers with unusual cheerfulness, thinking the while of his mother's mission to bring Bertha, who he believes will soon become his wife. In a few minutes the three Anabaptists, Zacharias, Jonas and Matthias, enter the tavern, and take seats at a table, but Jonas suddenly fixes his eyes upon John and calls the attention of his companions to the striking likeness the inn-keeper bears to a portrait of David that hangs in the Munster Cathedral. Inquiry of the peasants elicits from them the information that he is famous for valor and strength and knows his Bible by heart. This convinces the Anabaptists that John is the immortal one for whom they have been seeking, the chosen Son of Heaven to preach the truth on earth. In a few moments John dismisses the peasants and takes a seat at a table to wait the coming of his mother and Bertha.
