New production of Bartered Bride premieres at Smetana festival

A new production of the Bartered Bride received its premiere at the Smetana’s Litomyšl International Opera Festival on Friday night. The new version of Bedřich Smetana’s popular opera is by Prague’s National Theatre, where it will be staged following the annual festival in the composer’s home town. (Radio Prague wrongly reported last week that the new production of the Bartered Bride was opening the festival on Wednesday. Sorry.)
