The story

During the Peninsular War, secret agent Nina Maria Azara works undercover for Spanish King Ferdinand VII as a singer known as the "Firefly." She is much admired by French soldiers ("Danse Jeanette"), her unwitting sources of intelligence. During a performance ("Life is like a Firefly"), Nina Maria flirts with "Don Diego," who―unknown to her―is actually Captain Andre of French Intelligence. In return, he sings a tribute to her ("A Woman’s Kiss").
