Abstract

In this scene from Smetana's Bartered Bride, the character Vasek (Joe Sacchi) has been promised to marry Marie (Sarah Hemenway), but has never met her. As the scene continues, you find out that Marie knows who he is and eventually convinces Vasek to renounce his promise to marry Marie. She does this by convincing him that there is another lady in the town who loves him instead. By the end you realize the true trick was for Marie to get out of a marriage she didn't want.
