The work is generally regarded as a major contribution towards the development of <a href="/wiki/Czech_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Czech music">Czech music</a>. It was composed during the period 1863 to 1866, and first performed at the <a href="/wiki/Provisional_Theatre_(Prague)" title="Provisional Theatre (Prague)">Provisional Theatre</a>, Prague, on 30 May 1866 in a two-act format with <a href="/wiki/Spoken_dialogue" class="mw-redirect" title="Spoken dialogue">spoken dialogue</a>. Set in a country village and with realistic characters, it tells the story of how, after a late surprise revelation, true love prevails over the combined efforts of ambitious parents and a scheming <a href="/wiki/Marriage_broker" class="mw-redirect" title="Marriage broker">marriage broker</a>. </p><p>The opera was not immediately successful, and was revised and extended in the following four years. In its final version, premiered in 1870, it rapidly gained popularity and eventually became a worldwide success. Until this time, the Czech national opera had only been represented by minor, rarely performed works. This opera, Smetana's second, was part of his quest to create a truly Czech operatic genre. Smetana's musical treatment made considerable use of traditional Bohemian dance forms, such as the <a href="/wiki/Polka" title="Polka">polka</a> and <a href="/wiki/Furiant" title="Furiant">furiant</a>, and, although he largely avoided the direct quotation of <a href="/wiki/Folksong" class="mw-redirect" title="Folksong">folksong</a>, he nevertheless created music considered by Czechs to be quintessentially Czech in spirit. The overture, often played as a concert piece independently from the opera, was, unusually, composed before almost any of the other music had been written. </p><p>After a performance at the Vienna Music and Theatre Exhibition of 1892, the opera achieved international recognition. It was performed in Chicago in 1893, London in 1895 and reached New York in 1909, subsequently becoming the first, and for many years the only, Czech opera in the <a href="/wiki/List_of_important_operas" class="mw-redirect" title="List of important operas">general repertory</a>. Many of these early international performances were in German, under the title <i>Die verkaufte Braut</i>, and the German-language version continues to be played and recorded. <a href="/wiki/The_Bartered_Bride_(1932_film)" title="The Bartered Bride (1932 film)">A German film</a> of the opera was made in 1932 by <a href="/wiki/Max_Oph%C3%BCls" title="Max Ophüls">Max Ophüls</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Context">Context</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bartered_Bride&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Context"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto,_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_(s.d.)_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg/220px-Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="223" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg/330px-Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg/440px-Disegno_per_copertina_di_libretto%2C_disegno_di_Peter_Hoffer_per_La_sposa_venduta_%28s.d.%29_-_Archivio_Storico_Ricordi_ICON012414.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1192" data-file-height="1208" /></a><figcaption>Disegno per copertina di libretto, drawing for La sposa venduta (undated).</figcaption></figure> <p>Until the middle 1850s Bedřich Smetana was known in Prague principally as a teacher, pianist and composer of salon pieces.

Kecal agrees, and rushes off to prepare the contract.

They are horrified ("He does not want her – what has happened?"). Vašek runs off, and moments later Mařenka arrives with her parents. She has just learned of Jeník's deal with Kecal, and a lively ensemble ("No, no, I don't believe it") ensues. Matters are further complicated when Vašek returns, recognises Mařenka as his "strange girl", and says that he will happily marry her. In the sextet which follows ("Make your mind up, Mařenka"), Mařenka is urged to think things over. They all depart, leaving her alone. </p><p>In her aria ("Oh what grief"), Mařenka sings of her betrayal. When Jeník appears, she rebuffs him angrily, and declares that she will marry Vašek. Kecal arrives, and is amused by Jeník's attempts to pacify Mařenka, who orders her former lover to go. The villagers then enter, with both sets of parents, wanting to know Mařenka's decision ("What have you decided, Mařenka?"). As she confirms that she will marry Vašek, Jeník returns, and to great consternation addresses Mícha as "father". In a surprise identity revelation it emerges that Jeník is Mícha's elder son, by a former marriage – the "worthless good-for-nothing" earlier dismissed by Kecal – who had in fact been driven away by his jealous stepmother, Háta. As Mícha's son he is, by the terms of the contract, entitled to marry Mařenka; when this becomes clear, Mařenka understands his actions and embraces him. Offstage shouting interrupts the proceedings; it seems that a bear has escaped from the circus and is heading for the village. This creature appears, but is soon revealed to be Vašek in the bear's costume ("Don't be afraid!"). His antics convince his parents that he is unready for marriage, and he is marched away. Mícha then blesses the marriage between Mařenka and Jeník, and all ends in a celebratory chorus. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception_and_performance_history">Reception and performance history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bartered_Bride&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Reception and performance history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Premiere">Premiere</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bartered_Bride&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Premiere"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The premiere of <i>The Bartered Bride</i> took place at the Provisional Theatre on 30 May 1866.
