Park Opera
Bartered Bride
Park Opera is proud to be back on stage at the Wilde Theatre. On this occasion, we return with a colourful, uplifting romantic story:
THE BARTERED BRIDE by Smetana in English, Fully Staged with Orchestra.
As the Czech villagers prepare to celebrate May Day with feasting, dancing and even a travelling circus, Mařenka is determined to marry her lover Jenik. But her father has other ideas – so can true love win in the end? Smetana’s enchanting score is full of lively charm and infectious tunes, from its vibrant overture to its heart-stopping love duets, rousing drinking songs and the spectacular circus scene, the famous Dance of the Comedians.
The opera is a joyous celebration of Czech culture, told with typical Czech humour, but also sympathy, compassion and joie-de-vivre! With colourful national costumes, superb soloists, chorus, dancers and orchestra, and as always sung in English, this delightful production must not be missed.
Tickets for this popular masterpiece are sure to sell fast, so hurry to book your seats now, to avoid disappointment.
