    The Czech Center Museum Houston presents Bedrich Smetana’s Prodaná nevesta - The Bartered Bride, at the Czech Center Museum Houston, Saturday, March 27.

    This opera, premiered in Prague 1866, is Smetana’s most cherished work for the stage, so popular that it is often considered the “Czech National Opera.” It is a delightful love story set to romantic, folk-like melodies. Through singing, dancing, and a traveling circus, you will be transported back in time to the Czech countryside, willingly and effortlessly. It’s an experience that is well-suited for the whole family.

    The opera is sung in Czech with English supertitles and produced in collaboration with the Czech Educational Foundation of Texas and the Frank J. and Hermine Hurta Kostohryz Residency in Czech Music and Culture Fund. This will be a full production with sets, costumes, lights and The University of North Texas Denton Symphony Orchestra.
