Act III:  Roxane¹s Kiss

Christian has decided that he is through with having Cyrano¹s letters be the intermediary between himself and Roxanne. He goes to her home and stands underneath her balcony window preparing to profess his love. Cyrano catches Christian before he makes this horrible mistake and tries to convince him to stop but Christian's mind is made up. He attempts to profess his love but all he says is, "I love you."  Roxane thinks that he is mocking her and that he never truly loved her. Cyrano steps in to save Christian but then is overwhelmed and recites beautiful poetry about his love for her.  Although the voice has changed, Roxane recognizes the depth of his words and falls even more in love with Christian.  Next, Christian asks for a kiss and then proposes to Roxane.  There just happens to be a Capuchin walking by and he agrees to perform the wedding right away.

The wedding night will have to wait because the soldiers have been ordered away to the siege of Arras.  Roxane and Christian say good-bye and Christian promises to write.
