In the Well

About the show

On Midsummer Eve, Lidunka hopes to see her beloved Vojtech reflected in the village well, following a custom said to reveal a girl’s future husband. Her mother favors the wealthy older Janek, and Lidunka consults Veruna, the village sorceress. Both suitors climb a tree to ensure their reflections appear, but Janek falls into the well just before Lidunka arrives. The confusion is eventually resolved, and Lidunka marries Vojtech.
