The Bartered Bride: State Operetta Dresden
About the Event
The Dresden State Operetta continues its season of operatic works with a beautiful production of Smetana’s timeless comedic opera The Bartered Bride, a sidesplittingly hilarious tale of true love triumphing over adversity.
Composed in the early 1860s, Smetana’s The Bartered Bride is widely regarding by critics as having heralded a new age in Bohemian composition and music. Smetana’s own work is beautifully complemented by the inclusion of a libretto by Czech national poet Karel Sabina.
