Ferenc Fegya Jávori: Wedding Dance
By this very first klezmer musical the audiance is taken to a Romanian-Hungarian-Jewish village in Transylvania, where András Bárány, son of a well-to-do farmer, is holding his bachelor's party before marrying the poor but beautiful Rózsi Patkós. However, it turns out that the orphaned Rózsi does not possess the documents required for the marriage ceremony.
At the suggestion of old Mrs. Majzik, local notary Comsa turns to the orphanage for more information. Here it transpires that Rózsi is not in fact the Patkós' daughter by birth but was adopted by them. In short, Rózsi, who until now was believed to be Christian, is in fact Jewish!
Shunned by her former friends, the despondent Rózsi is taken in by the philosophically-minded Jewish innkeeper Uncle Herskovics. There she finds a new home and starts studying her new faith.
