The Peasant Opera is based on a well-known literary motive: the prodigal son returning home after many years is not recognized by his parents, and is killed by them for his money. The play starts with a seemingly idyllic scene: the family is preparing for Roland Balog’s wedding. Roland is marrying the daughter of the protestant priest, who is already several months pregnant. The wedding, however, turns into scandal when the priest’s wife decides that she cannot carry her secret anymore, namely that the father of her daughter is not the priest but a mysterious stranger, who was passing by several years ago.
