This story of a refused kiss is somewhat unsophisticated and simple, yet for all that it reflects two worlds of thought which both have their own truth – the world of the widower Lucas, who is finally able to wish a kiss from his beloved Vendulka, and the world of Vendulka, who honours the memory of Lucas’ late wife and refuses to kiss him. Smetana’s music provides an adorable view into the heart of these two young people, into their feelings, experiences and reflections. It lends a gentle philosophical dimension to the simple story and the melodies were quite popular in their day. The new staging of this popular work will be prepared by an experienced production team and will be presented in a co-production with the Smetana’s Litomyšl International Opera Festival.
Orchestra and Choir of the National Theatre Opera
The opera is staged in Czech original version and English and German surtitles are used in the performance.
