%X The local colour plays an important role in the realistic drama as well in the Verismo opera. Normally, both emphasise the rural character, but there are some exceptions, for instance "La filla del mar", "Liebesketten" and "La nereide", in which the action takes place in a maritime surrounding: Mediterranean in Guimer¨¤ĄŻs and Fontana/TrovatiĄŻs work, and Atlantic in Lothar/dĄŻAlbertĄŻs. These maritime features are embedded in the vocabulary, the scenography, the occupations of the actors as well as in the individual and collective customs and habits (both popular and religious). In the same way, the inclusion of folk songs contributes to an authentic milieu atmosphere. The nucleus of the conflict in "La filla del mar" lies particularly in the main protagonistĄŻs (AgathaĄŻs) differentness, which is why Lothar/dĄŻAlbert adorn her character with more exotic features than in the Catalan play and at the same time endow the music with a characteristic oriental instrumentation.
