at Le Castelet In Scene 1, Francet Mamaï tells Balthazar of Frédéri’s passion for a girl from Arles. Both agree that Frédéri would be better off marrying a local girl, such as Vivette Renauld. L’Innocent, whose theme dominates the first mélodrame (№ 2) and the next two numbers, wants Balthazar to finish his story in which a wolf attacks a goat. The next mélodrame (№ 3) links the first and second scenes of the play, as Balthazar, continues telling the wolf story to l’Innocent. The third mélodrame (№ 4) accompanies an exchange between Vivette, Rose Mamaï’s god-daughter, and Balthazar, where the shepherd says he thinks something is stirring in l’Innocent’s mind. After a gay offstage chorus, a mélodrame (№ 5), introduces the theme of Mitifio, who reveals that the Arlésienne has been his mistress for two years. In the mélodrame and final chorus (№ 6), Frédéri is about to go off to Arles, but Francet tells him what Mitifio said. The chorus bursts in with a reprise of "Grand soleil de la Provence", and Frédéri’s theme accompanies his collapse by the well. Act 2 Tableau 1: At the Étang de Vaccarès The Pastorale (№ 7), the first movement in the second suite, with offstage chorus and accompaniment, sets the scene. In the following Mélodrame (№ 8) Balthazar and l’Innocent enter (using the latter’s theme), and the next (№ 9) marks the exit of Rose. Mélodrame № 10 accompanies the discovery of Fréderi in the shepherd’s hut, angry because everyone is spying on him. As wordless offstage chorus sing (№ 11), Balthazar leaves, having failed to make Frédéri destroy the letters from the Arlésienne which he reads night and day. The following mélodrame (№ 12) is only six bars; l’Innocent cannot recall the story he wants to tell his brother. In the next mélodrame (№ 13, Èr dóu Guet) described as a berceuse, l’Innocent falls asleep while telling his story. A nine-bar mélodrame (№ 14) evokes Rose’s desperation at Fréderi’s frame of mind. Tableau 2: The kitchen at Castelet The next music (the Intermezzo used in the second suite) depicts Vivette, the local girl who wants to marry Frédéri, preparing her parcels to take on the Rhône ferry (№ 15). After men prepare to go out shooting game Rose and the others fear that Frédéri might kill himself. At the end of the act (№ 16) when Frédéri decides that Vivette
