Bartered Bride

The plot takes us to a village where Jeník and Marenka live, two young people who like each other. However, Mařenka is to marry the son of a rich farmer, Mícha, to whom her father is in debt. But the young girl is not going to just give up her love and refuses to marry the chosen groom. Jeník does it smartly and uses matchmaker Kecal. But he and Mařenka don't talk about their plans and the whole thing gets a little messy... Ondřej Havelka created a masterfully played musical theater that is based on beautiful folk traditions, but at the same time found a unique perspective on the whole opera. It takes place not, as is usually the custom, in the summer during the harvest, but during the carnival, or as we call the carnival in Moravia! So you can look forward not only to the comedians in the 3rd act, but also to a number of true Moravian carnival masquerades.
