The Peasant Opera adapts a ballad-like story into an opera. The music is based on a bizarre, yet homogeneous mixture of Hungarian folk-songs from Transylvania, the baroque and pop-rock. The story is familiar to many of us. It happened to some folks on the countryside, a very long time ago. There are unhappy people in it, passion, humour, incest and murder.
