The Storm Knight and Ivan arrive and the lovers plan to escape, rejecting Kashcheyevna's offer to free the princess if the prince will stay with her. Kaschey awakes.

In the small Russian town of Kolomna at the beginning of the 19th century, Parasha, sits with her needlework thinking of her lover, a handsome Hussar, who suddenly appears at the window. They lament their difficulty in meeting. Parasha has an idea. Her mother’s cook has died and she is unable to find a new one even though the neighbours are helping in the search. Parasha suggests that the Hussar disguise himself as a woman, and she will hire him as the cook. The plan succeeds until one day Parasha’s mother opens the kitchen door and finds the cook shaving. A neighbour runs in raising a hue and cry. The Hussar jumps out of the window and runs off with Parasha in pursuit. The conclusion of the opera is that she must have found him as neither of them has returned.
