The Bartered Bride, an evergreen of Czech theatre and one of the icons of
Czech culture in general, has been staged at the National Theatre virtually
continuously from the very beginning up to the present day. In recent years it
has already become a tradition that each new artistic management of the opera
has created their own production of The Bartered Bride in which they have
embodied their own dramatic visions and ideas. Sometimes, we have highlighted in
Smetana’s and Sabina’s eternal story from Czech village life replete with
humorous as well as moving human types and situations its poetic qualities, at
others its realistic harshness, while its grotesqueness and playfulness have
also been accentuated. This time the National Theatre Opera invited for staging
of The Bartered Bride the young director Magdaléna Švecová whose intelligent,
femininely tender and thoughtful sensitivity and original dramatic vision serve
to uncover covert or overlooked values in classical repertoire works. In the
history of the National Theatre, she is the first woman to direct The Bartered
Bride.
The opera is staged in the Czech original version and English and German
surtitles are used in the performance.Duration of the performance:3 hours,
