The Bartered Bride (Czech:Prodaná nevěsta, The Sold Bride) is a comic opera in three acts by the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, to a libretto by Karel Sabina. The work is generally regarded as a major contribution towards the development of Czech music. It was composed during the period 1863–66, and first performed at the Provisional Theatre, Prague, on 30 May 1866 in a two-act format with spoken dialogue. Set in a country village and with realistic characters, it tells the story of how, after a late surprise revelation, true love prevails over the combined efforts of ambitious parents and a scheming marriage broker. The opera was not immediately successful, and was revised and extended in the following four years. In its final version, premiered in 1870, it gained rapid popularity and eventually became a worldwide success.
Czech national opera until this time had been represented only by a number of minor, rarely performed works. This opera, Smetana's second, was part of his quest to create a truly Czech operatic genre. Smetana's musical treatment made considerable use of traditional Bohemian dance forms such as the polka and furiant, although he largely avoided the direct quotation of folksong. He nevertheless created music which was accurately folk-like, and is considered by Czechs to be quintessentially Czech in spirit. The overture, often played as a concert piece independently from the opera, was, unusually, composed before almost any of the other music had been written.
Bedřich Smetana (Czech pronunciation:[ˈbɛdr̝ɪx ˈsmɛtana]; 2March 1824 – 12May 1884) was a Czech composer who pioneered the development of a musical style which became closely identified with his country's aspirations to independent statehood. He is thus widely regarded in his homeland as the father of Czech music. Internationally he is best known for his opera The Bartered Bride and for the symphonic cycle Má vlast ("My Homeland"), which portrays the history, legends and landscape of the composer's native land.
Smetana was naturally gifted as a pianist, and gave his first public performance at the age of six. After his conventional schooling, he studied music under Josef Proksch in Prague. His first nationalistic music was written during the 1848 Prague uprising, in which he briefly participated. After failing to establish his career in Prague, he left for Sweden, where he set up as a teacher and choirmaster in Gothenburg, and began to write large-scale orchestral works. During this period of his life Smetana was twice married; of six daughters, three died in infancy.

The day's finally here, There's flowers everywhere. The guests are waitin' with sweet anticipation. As I look down the aisle, The preacher stops an' smiles. Church bells are ringin' an' the organ is playin'. I'm so overcome that I could cry. I'm so happy I'm not the bride. She's such a pretty thing, She don't know anythin'... Ain't gonna tell her that she's outta her mind. The preacher asks the question... No, I got no objection. I do, I do; I want him out of my life. Throw the rice an' let those white doves fly... Oh, happy day... I'm not the bride. Eat some more cake, Throw the bouquet, Pass the champagne, it's time to celebrate. I'm gonna dance this night away, Whoa, whoa, yeah. The groom is gettin' loud, His new wife starts to shout. Oh, this is perfect, it can only get better. They're fightin' in the car, off to a real good start. His momma's cryin'. Aren't they lovely together? They're drivin' away, we're wavin' goodbye. Close call, relax, Amen, Hallelujah, By the grace of God go I... I'm not the bride. Well, I'm not the bride. I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. I'm not the bride. Thank God! Goodbye now. Good luck girl. You're gonna need it. Ha, ha, ha.
