Physician: Little nightingale, the Emperor has heard of your beautiful voice and has sent us into the woods to find you.
Music Master: We have the great pleasure of inviting you to a court festival this evening, where you will delight the Emperor with your charming song.
Timekeeper: How important you will be when the Emperor looks upon you with favorable eyes.
Chief of Staff: Soon all of China will know of the revered nightingale with a voice as lovely and delicate as a butterfly’s wings.
