		+	The jingoistic plot is set during the Austrian occupation of Italy after Napoleon invaded Lombardy in 1806. A company of French soldiers, led by Lieutenant Robert, crossed the Alps and invaded a convent but the only occupant is a young girl, Stella, who was in penitence and was believed to be the daughter of Duke Della Volta. Stella fell in love with Robert, but her father had promised her hand to Bambini, an ineffectual old marquis. However, Robert received the news that Stella was not the daughter of the duke, but of a French drum-major. The production was successful overseas and ran for 240 performances in its initial form.

	First performed at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, Paris, on 13 December, 1879.		First performed at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, Paris, on 13 December, 1879.
