In a Bohemian village, young Mařenka is in love with Jeník — but her parents have promised her to another man through the marriage broker Kecal. When Jeník appears to "sell" his claim to Mařenka for a tidy sum, she is heartbroken by the apparent betrayal. But a clever twist in the fine print turns the whole bargain on its head, and true love wins the day.

Bedřich Smetana (1824–1884) is regarded as the father of Czech music, the composer who gave his nation a voice on the operatic stage. 𝘛ℎ𝘦 𝘉𝑎𝘳𝑡𝘦𝑟𝘦𝑑 𝐵𝘳𝑖𝘥𝑒, with its sparkling folk-inspired melodies and irresistible good humor, remains his most beloved work — and a joyful celebration of Czech village life.

Presented as part of the WFMT Opera Series, this production comes from the Vienna State Opera, conducted by Tomáš Hanus, with Slávka Zámečníková as Mařenka and Pavol Breslik as Jeník. Sung in German.
