No, no. The tenor turns out to be the son of the Moon Priestess who was stolen at birth and the Eurmali servant just prevents them killing each other whereupon the soprano is resurected and everyone joins in the wedding party finale. Opera has to have a ridiculous plot, with comic opera the more ridiculous the better.
