Opera by Bedrich Smetana

Comic opera in three acts

Stage version by Carl Riha and Winfried Höntsch using passages from the translations by Kurz Honolka and Paul Esterházy.

Premiere: September 28, 2025

Smetana's Bartered Bride depicts the state of emergency into which an entire Czech village is plunged during the fair and the seemingly hopeless struggle of a young woman for her seemingly betrayed and sold love. The utopian counter-world of a traveling circus holds up a mirror to the villagers' desires, their dependencies, fears and hopes.
