Approved

A three-act lyrical opera inspired by the French short story of the same name by the author duo Emil Erckmann and Alexander Chatrian. The subject of the story is a theme that has varied many times in the opera world: the wealthy landowner and the old bachelor Fritz unexpectedly burns out with love for the cute Suzel, the daughter of his friend. The charming girl is full of zest for life, and when picking cherries, she sometimes throws one instead of it into the basket. In the end, the cunning matchmaker Rabbi David only collects his winnings for the bet, as he still managed to marry the annoyed Fritz.

The State Opera is another well-known opera by the Italian composer Pietro Mascagni. A year later (1891), after his most famous work The Peasant Honor, Friend Fritz (L´amico Fritz) achieved great success, but he was unable to maintain its continuity. Today, he rarely enters the repertoire of world opera houses and is also staged for the first time under the direction of Dana Dinková in Banská Bystrica.

English

Trojdejstvová lyrická opera inšpirovaná rovnomennou francúzskou poviedkou autorskej dvojice Emila Erckmanna a Alexandra Chatriana. Sujet príbehu tvorí v opernom svete mnohokrát variovaná téma: zámožný statkár a zaťatý starý mládenec Fritz neočakávane zahorí láskou k roztomilej Suzel, dcére svojho priateľa. Pôvabná dievčina je plná chuti do života a pri oberaní čerešní občas nejakú namiesto do košíka hodí aj jemu. Prefíkaný dohadzovač rabín David na konci už len inkasuje svoju výhru za stávku, keďže sa mu podarilo mrzutého Fritza predsa len oženiť.

Štátna opera predstavuje ďalšiu známu operu talianskeho skladateľa Pietra Mascagniho. Po jeho najznámejšom diele Sedliacka česť zaznamenal o rok neskôr (1891) Priateľ Fritz (L´amico Fritz) veľký úspech, ktorého kontinuitu si však nedokázal zachovať. Dnes sa do repertoáru svetových operných domov dostáva zriedkavo a aj v Banskej Bystrici je v réžii Dany Dinkovej inscenovaný po prvýkrát.
