Details

Bohus, a young gentleman, returns incognito to his home-town in Bohemia, with his wife Julie. His mother is dead and his father, Count Harasova, has disowned him, following a rumour that Bohus has become a Parisian revolutionary - a Jacobin - and has made his wily nephew, Adolf, his heir. Meanwhile, the Count's steward, Philip, pays court to the schoolmaster Benda's daughter, Terinka, who is, however, in love with one of the town lads, Jiri. Family and romantic misunderstandings abound before matters are resolved in a rousing denouement. Dvorak's opera creates a romantic village atmosphere, with sentimental action and open-hearted lyricism.
