Craning past one window and then another (with the help of some dissolves and a miniature model), the camera locates Sonia’s room and dollies laterally past four windows in a row, eventually revealing six gentlemen eavesdropping in the antechamber.

But the closing image punctures the romantic mood by revealing that Danilo is just one ambitious suitor among many.
