Description
One of N. V. Gogol’s best-known works, presented as a theatrical production.
On a quiet, clear evening, when girls and young men gather in a circle and sing songs, the young Cossack Levko—son of the village head—approaches one of the cottages and, through song, calls out to the clear-eyed Hanna. But timid Hanna doesn’t come right away: she’s afraid—of the girls’ envy, the young men’s boldness, her mother’s strictness, and something else that remains unclear. Levko has no way to comfort the beauty: his father is pretending again to be deaf whenever Levko mentions marriage.
