Fête galante | Conductor Christian Øland on Schierbeck's only opera

Den unge Grev René gifter sig med den unge pige, Suzon. Hun aner ikke, at ægteskabet er ugyldigt og underskrevet af en beruset lakaj. Teaterdirektøren Scaramouche opdager bedraget og vil udnytte situationen. Han får en notar til at underskrive ægteskabskontrakten og tilbyder den til Suzon – han vil senere afkræve betaling. René tilstår, at vielsen var ugyldig, men at han faktisk elsker Suzon. Suzon tror blot, han vil teste hende, for hun har jo lige set det gyldige dokument. Da Markis d’Argenville, en af Renés venner, forgriber sig på Suzon, udfordrer René ham til duel. René forlanger tavshed af sine venner om bedraget, men Suzon har hørt det hele. Kongen ankommer, afblæser duellen og forlanger at se bruden, som han har førsteret til på bryllupsnatten. René værger sig, og Scaramouches hustru udgives for at være Suzon. Kongen bliver straks meget betaget af hende – til stor fortrydelse for Scaramouche. Suzon afslører, at hun ved alt om Renés bedrag og river ægteskabskontrakten i stykker. Det lykkes dog René at få hende overbevist om sine reelle hensigter, og de forsones.

dansk

The young Count René marries the young girl, Suzon. She has no idea that the marriage is invalid and signed by a drunken lackey. Theater director Scaramouche discovers the deception and wants to take advantage of the situation. He gets a notary to sign the marriage contract and offers it to Suzon – he will demand payment later. René confesses that the marriage was invalid, but that he actually loves Suzon. Suzon just thinks he wants to test her, because she just saw the valid document. When the Marquis d'Argenville, one of René's friends, preys on Suzon, René challenges him to a duel. René demands silence from his friends about the deception, but Suzon has heard the whole thing. The king arrives, calls off the duel and demands to see the bride, to whom he has first right on the wedding night. René defends himself, and Scaramouche's wife is revealed to be Suzon. The king is immediately very smitten by her – much to Scaramouche's chagrin. Suzon reveals that she knows all about René's deception and tears up the marriage contract. However, René manages to convince her of his real intentions, and they reconcile.
