Founded in 1998, the Bela Pinter company is one of the most important theater group in Hungary. L�op�ra de paysans starts with the preparations of a wedding. The bride is already pregnant; her sister is jealous because she�s in love with the groom, but her father promised her to an alcoholic station agent so he could take over his land. The mother is a vamp. The father turns out not to be the real father. Actually the bride was conceived while her mother was seeing a complete stranger who went by the name �the cowboy�. This is when skeletons come out of the closet, one after the other, after the other. Inspired by John Gay�s famous The Beggar�s Opera, Bela Pinter�s Peasants' Opera is made up of dramatic, sarcastic and hillarious situations. It�s an uncanny mix of baroque opera and popular hungarian music.
