Georges Dandin

Dandin György, the rich bourgeois concludes a marriage contract with the noblemen Lükeházy couple who has turned poor: he can marry their daughter in return of a regular financial contribution. Angyalka escapes the undesired husband at their very first night, and furthermore she establishes a secret romantic relationship with Count Klitander who suits her a lot better. Any time Dandin refers to the breech of the contract and wants to get rid of the marriage, the cunning Angyalka keeps on proving her own right and virtue and the malevolence of Dandin. Dandin, in his despair, wants to kill himself in water, but unfortunately the water of the pond in the park is just ankle-high. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
