The Bartered Bride

About the Event

In the 1860s, Bedrich Smetana and Karel Sabina created the Czech national opera 'The Bartered Bride' par excellence.

Marie loves Hans, but is supposed to enter into an arranged marriage with Wenzel, the son of the rich landowner Micha. Marie fights for her love, while Hans on the other hand promises the marriage broker Kecal that he will give up his bride if he gives her to Micha's son. The outraged Marie does not yet know that Hans is the long‐lost son of Micha's first marriage.
