Rikas eno: Laulunsekainen huvinäytelmä kahdessa näytöksessä

A lively, tongue‑in‑cheek musical comedy unfolds in the well‑appointed drawing‑room of the respectable yet eccentric Kummellund. The first act introduces a bustling household of merchants, a major, a young governess, and a cast of servants, all caught up in a swirl of witty repartee and clumsy dancing. When the shy servant Tuomas tries to master the fashionable “masurkaa” dance under Brita’s impatient tutelage, the scene bursts into slap‑stick chaos, setting the tone for a satire of social pretensions.

Meanwhile, Kummellund’s conversations with the sharp‑tongued Rosennase reveal a town preoccupied with love, literature and the absurdities of propriety. Their banter about arranged marriages, forbidden romances and the oddities of local customs hints at deeper tensions that will ripple through the evening’s festivities. Listeners can expect a playful blend of music, humor, and clever commentary on early‑20th‑century small‑town life, all delivered with a light‑hearted charm that keeps the audience smiling.
