Prodana NevestaProdan nevěsta, often referred to by its English name, The Bartered Bride, is the second opera of eight by Bedřich Smetana. It is a comedy. There are four versions. The original version (1863–66) is in two acts, as is the first revision of 1869; the second revision, also of 1869, is in three acts, and the definitive version, of 1869–70, is also in three acts. The first performance of the definitive version was at the Provisional Theatre in Prague on September 25, 1870. The Bartered Bride was produced in Vienna in 1892, to considerable popular acclaim, and it became the only one of Smetana's operas to maintain a permanent place in the repertory outside of the Czech homeland.
