L'action se déroule à la Cour impériale de Chine en des temps fabuleux. Une forêt en bord de mer, la nuit. Un pêcheur dans son bateau écoute le magnifique chant du rossignol. Des courtisans arrivent et invitent le rossignol à chanter devant l'empereur de Chine. L'oiseau accepte....

The setting is ancient China. The fisherman (tenor) acts as commentator on the story's events. At the seashore just before sunrise, a fisherman hears the song of the nightingale, which causes him to forget his troubles. The cook (soprano) has brought officials from the court of the Emperor to hear the nightingale (soprano), telling of the beauty of its singing. However, the nightingale is nowhere to be heard. The court chamberlain (baritone) promises the cook a position as private cook to the Emperor, if she can find the nightingale. The nightingale does finally appear, and receives an invitation from the cook and the chamberlain to sing for the Emperor. The nightingale accepts the invitation, but says that its sweetest song is in the forest....
