The theme of this charming fairy-tale opera is taken over from Božena Němcová’s folk tale of the same name about the brazen and fearless Kate, the wily shepherd Jirka and the duped devil Marbuel. Dvořák created a masterly patchwork of contrasting scenes – folksy, breezy, fiendishly fervent and courtly noble. Adolf Born’s exquisite sets and costumes bear the hallmark of this original and popular artist.
