Abstract
The play opens with a Christmas hymn, after which Lucifer appears, soliloquizing. He is uneasy at the portents, and determines by some device to ascertain from the shepherds the truth about the Messiah’s coming. He hides as they approach, singing. The Hermit joins the shepherds to learn what they know about the Messiah, and journeys on with them to their night camp. Parrado goes to inspect the flocks, and the others are about to go to sleep when an angel appears. No one notices the apparition except Tebano, but Parrado rushes in, demanding a boon for some joyful news.
