Fhe plot of "The Bartered Bride" is centred on a simple village love affair hedged round by quaint old Czech marriage customs, which are arranged by a "marriage broker.’ Bride and bridegroom meet, for the first time, in most* cases, on their wedding day. Sometimes, as in the plot of this opera, true love outmanoeuvres the ‘marriage broker’ and emerges triumphant. The opera also intruduces » dances, various Czech national airs such jas the polka, while the owerture is second only to the "Barber of Seville."’ The action takes place in Bohemia in the first half of the nineteenth century. 11. 0 NEWS FROM LONDON fol11.30: lowed by meditation music .
