The Fair at Sorochyntsi

About the show

At the Sorochyntsi fair, the peasant Gritsko wins the approval of Parasya’s father, Cherevik, to marry her, but her stepmother Khivrya blocks the match. A story about the devil searching for a red jacket spreads fear among the fairgoers, while Khivrya secretly entertains the priest’s son. With help from a Gypsy, Gritsko secures Cherevik’s renewed consent, and the people celebrate the wedding. Shebalin’s standard completion includes Gritsko’s dream of witches and devils.
