2024 | THE BARTERED BRIDE

Eine Oper von Bedrich Smetana

Young Marie is sad. She is to marry Wenzel, son of the rich farmer Micha, even though her heart belongs to Hans. Hans is prepared to give up Marie in exchange for a lot of money and the condition that she may only marry one of Micha's sons. Because, as nobody knows, Hans is also Micha's son. Marie - the sold bride - is deeply hurt and reproaches her lover bitterly. Humiliated, she finally signs the marriage contract. Then Hans reveals everything: Marie has just married him, Micha's unknown son.
