Act I
At the threshing floor of a rich peasant Marko, young women are singing while crumbling corns. Only master Marko's daughter Djula is sad: her mother died and her stepmother, Doma, does not care for her at all. Djula's voice awakes Mica, a young man whom nobody knows. While women are comforting Djula and start singing again, he slides down from a big haystack on which he has been lying unnoticed -- as if he fell from the sky. Superstitious women believe him when he says: "I am Ero from another world!" He starts dragging out a story about the life up there, delivering messages from their deceased ones. Djula's stepmother comes out and grumbles about their laziness. However, Mica sends her back into the kitchen by deceit, and thus, being left alone with Djula, tells her that her late mother has chosen him to be Djula's husband. While they are discussing how to make her father Marko give his consent to their marriage, father himself comes and drives Mica off, refusing to give shelter to a scoundrel. However, there is Doma, who has also heard about a young man from another world, so, after Marko leaves, she makes inquiries after her late husband Matija. Having heard that he is angry about her new marriage, her lack of respect for him and that his pockets are empty, she, under a pang of conscience, gives Mica a sock full of golden coins to give to Matija when he sees him. Ero joyfully leaves. However, when Marko finds out about the money, he gathers men to go after him.

Slažem se da je Gostič bio izvrstan tenor Ere, no u ovoj snimci snimljenoj s Repušićem Dula je naša izvrsna sopranistica Valentina Fijačko Kobić, koja je prema mojim spoznajama najbolja Đula danas, Mužek izvrstan Ero i još nekoliko naših izvrsnih pjevača. Slušala sam na You tubeu Valentinu Fijačko Kobić bila je izvrsna i svakako želim kupiti tu snimku na Blue ray, ali ne znam kako nabaviti. U košaricu sam stavila ta dva CD-a, ali radije bi blue Ray i kako platiti.

Treba pisati GOSTIČ jer bio Slovenac. Slovenci ne koriste ć. Svi su veliki Ere bili Slovenci: Mario Šimenc, Josip Gostič, Janez Lotrič...

Kao Đula u ovoj operi se proslavila i Gertruda Munitić Racković i kao Doma alt Jelena Vlahović prvakinja Beogradske opere
