DVOŘÁK'S PRAGUE FESTIVAL 2008
Although in the course of Antonín Dvořák's lifetime (* 8 Sept 1841 - † 1 May 1904) his compositions were included in the concert programs of renowned orchestras and concert halls in Europe, North America and Australia, even at the height of his fame Dvořák considered himself to be first and foremnost a Czech.
He returned to Prague from his numerous successful trips abroad; in Prague he was actively involved in major institutions like the Conservatory or the Royal Czech Society of Sciences, and he played a leading role in the establishment of the Czech Philharmonic. Dvořák conducted the orchestra's first concert on 4 January 1896.
We firmly believe that the topics of Antonín Dvořák & Prague and Dvořák & Central Bohemia are subjects with an international context, yet at the same time is absolutely Czech.
Dvořák moved to Prague in 1857, when he started to study music at Organ School and played the violin in the Cecilia Society, Karel Komzák's band and the orchestra of the Provisional Theater. In 1871 he dedicated himself solely to composing.
Although the bases of his artistic and family life were in Prague - from 1877 till the end of his life he lived at Žitná street no. 14 with his large family whom he loved over all else - Dvořák belongs to all of Central Bohemia. He was born in Nelahozeves, a village near Kralupy nad Vltavou, on 8 September 1841; in Zlonice he undertook an apprenticeship as a butcher and acquired a musical education from his teacher, Antonín Liehmann; Dvořák found his second home in Vysoká u Příbrami, where he spent his summers.
Vysoká truly meant much for a man as fundamentally tied to the Bohemian countryside and with simple people who disliked pomp and splendor. It was here where Dvořák took refuge to avoid his 50th and 60th birthday celebrations in Prague.
The focus of the festival is to promote the works and live of Antonín Dvořák in Prague and, at a later date, in Central Bohemia.
An equally important focal point is to turn Prague and Central Bohemia into an arena of international artists who come to the city and region to play the works of Antonín Dvořáka.
Antonín Dvořák is an international genius.

DVOŘÁK'S PRAGUE FESTIVAL 2008
Although in the course of Antonín Dvořák's lifetime (* 8 Sept 1841 - † 1 May 1904) his compositions were included in the concert programs of renowned orchestras and concert halls in Europe, North America and Australia, even at the height of his fame Dvořák considered himself to be first and foremnost a Czech.
He returned to Prague from his numerous successful trips abroad; in Prague he was actively involved in major institutions like the Conservatory or the Royal Czech Society of Sciences, and he played a leading role in the establishment of the Czech Philharmonic. Dvořák conducted the orchestra's first concert on 4 January 1896.
We firmly believe that the topics of Antonín Dvořák & Prague and Dvořák & Central Bohemia are subjects with an international context, yet at the same time is absolutely Czech.
Dvořák moved to Prague in 1857, when he started to study music at Organ School and played the violin in the Cecilia Society, Karel Komzák's band and the orchestra of the Provisional Theater. In 1871 he dedicated himself solely to composing.
Although the bases of his artistic and family life were in Prague - from 1877 till the end of his life he lived at Žitná street no. 14 with his large family whom he loved over all else - Dvořák belongs to all of Central Bohemia. He was born in Nelahozeves, a village near Kralupy nad Vltavou, on 8 September 1841; in Zlonice he undertook an apprenticeship as a butcher and acquired a musical education from his teacher, Antonín Liehmann; Dvořák found his second home in Vysoká u Příbrami, where he spent his summers.
Vysoká truly meant much for a man as fundamentally tied to the Bohemian countryside and with simple people who disliked pomp and splendor. It was here where Dvořák took refuge to avoid his 50th and 60th birthday celebrations in Prague.
The focus of the festival is to promote the works and live of Antonín Dvořák in Prague and, at a later date, in Central Bohemia.
An equally important focal point is to turn Prague and Central Bohemia into an arena of international artists who come to the city and region to play the works of Antonín Dvořáka.
Antonín Dvořák is an international genius.

Die Zauberflote Tickets
National Marionette Theatre
Prague, Czech Republic
Anyone who has visited the city before will probably know that Mozart is very big business here. At this intimate theatre, he is honoured by marionettes. Don Giovanni is the only show and it runs throughout the year (from June through September, daily except Wednesday). Fortunately, unlike most theatres in town this one is air-conditioned, but that's not the only reason to come. The puppeteers are real masters and even people who don't like opera get a kick out of the antics of these wooden performers. A puppet Mozart conducts the recorded orchestra, just as the real Mozart conducted the actual premiere of this opera in Prague.

“One of the fastest-rising talents on the Prague jazz scene.” - The Prague Post
“Libor Šmoldas is, toghether with David Dorůžka, Petr Zelenka and also Roman Pokorný, among the leading Czech jazz guitar players.” - Harmonie
“His trio plays rhythmical-solid music, which is significant for so called "new Czech jazz generation", open, fresh, very own and with international qualities” - Czech radio
“This unique trio has a modern approach of contemporary jazz players but also respects jazz tradition, and that's the way it should be!” - NajPonk
“While his tone is entirely in keeping with the modern mainstream idiom, he tends to be more rhythmically assertive than a lot of the players he might cite as influences.“ - AllAboutJazz
Libor Šmoldas has been one of the busiest jazz guitarists on Prague’s scene for last years. He studied at both the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory and its Post-Secondary School. He plays with such legends of Czech jazz as Najponk, Jaromír Honzák, Radek Zapadlo, Yvonne Sanchez, Jiří Slavíček, Petr Dvorský, Josef Fečo and David Dorůžka, and also musicians from abroad (Bob Montgomery, Steve Fishwick, Osian Roberts, Lukasz Zyta, Pavel Wlosok). Libor writes his own music, performing it mainly with his trio (CD On the playground, 2007). He is also a member of Ondřej Pivec’s band Organic Quartet, with which he has performed at numerous European festivals (England, Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania…) and recorded albums Never Enough and Don’t Get Ideas. The album was awarded the 2006 Anděl award for Best Czech Album in the jazz and blues category and was also widely praised in the international press. In 2005 he was awarded a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music. Šmoldas also teaches jazz guitar at the Post-Secondary School of the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory, and occasionally at New York University’s Prague campus. Since 2008 he is a member of Czech Jazz Society's managing board.

Swan Lake Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Despite the many noteworthy titles in the ballet heritage, only one has made it into the broad public awareness as the synonym for classical dance: It is Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This colourful and moving story about the love of the Prince and the subtle Odette, who was turned into a swan by the evil Redbeard, has achieved immortality thanks to the overwhelming invention of the composer, and also thanks to the surviving choreographed passages of M. Petipa and L. Ivanov. Since the original version, each new generation of ballet soloists and ensembles has encountered this exciting challenge in order to present the ultimate brilliance in dance. Our production deliberately respects the original version of the work and its sublime fairy-tale spirit, while also wishing to meet the expectations of those who admire the finest ballet technique.

Turandot Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Turandot is the last opera by G. Puccini, who died shortly before finishing it. He found the theme in Schiller’s dramatisation of Carlo Gozzi’s Persian fairy-tale (originally a tale from the collection of dervish Mokles’ Thousand and One Nights) about a Chinese princess. The opera contains absorbing, highly dramatic scenes between the cruel princess Turandot and prince Kalaf. Puccini’s effort to achieve the truest possible Chinese vocal colour is strengthened by the use of pentatonics as the basic form of Chinese tonal system, easing the rhythm and often changing time, which is characteristic for the Chinese conception of music.
Turandot, Chinese princess: E. Baramova, M. Málková
Emperor Altoum, her father: L. Havlák, N. Višnjakov
Timur, banished Tartar king: M. Bürger, L. Mlejnek

Alois Jirásek
LANTERN
Jiráseks folk tale became an extremely lively portrayal of the natural rights of Man and human dignity, for which it is necessary to fight again and again. Despite the fact that the story itself is set within a mythical-fairytale framework, where there appear amongst mortals such beings as a merman or a banshee, its appeal is highly contemporary. A lordly administrator intends to fell an old linden tree, a tree shrouded in mystery and blessed with a sacred life, partly in order to humiliate the self-confident and free-thinking miller. Despite the fact that the miller, Hana and others fight with all their might in order to prevent the destruction of the tree, were it not for supernatural powers and a kind-hearted princess, nobody can say whether they would have been capable of saving it. The theme is highly current and, in the Czech Republic clearly eternal: the will of those, who instead of taking care of that which they ought to, behave like parasites and try to destroy all that stands in the way of their personal power, even if this is only a mere symbol an old linden tree.
A story about a magical tree, an ancient right, a proud miller, his charge Hanička, and a beautiful princess - this time in a modern production by stage director Vladimír Morávek, who has woven this effective parable about Czechs and Czech myths into a rich musical structure by Daniel Fikejz. The Czech countryside, itself acting as a character in this intimately-familiar folk play, comes to life in sets by Alois Mikulka and Aleš Votava.

Rosana grew up in a musical family in El Paso, TX. Her parents, both singers of a cappella barbershop harmony, filled the home with music from groups like Brazil 66, The Four Freshman, The Glen Miller Orchestra, and Singers Unlimited. As a result, Rosana developed a solid repertoire of jazz standards long before she began singing jazz.
A four-year Texas All-State French Horn player, Rosana accepted band and orchestra scholarships to the University of North Texas in pursuit of a BM in music theory. Within a few years, she was immersed in the school’s world renowned jazz program, playing her horn in the Jazz Repertory Ensemble and singing in the award-winning UNT Jazz Singers. By 1999, Rosana had completed a Masters degree in Jazz Studies as a vocalist, toured with the 1999 IAJE “Sisters in Jazz” Collegiate Sextet, and had become a member of the UNT Jazz Faculty. She was also a selected participant in the 2000 IAJE Thelonious Monk Aspen Jazz Colony where she was mentored by such greats as Christian McBride, Russell Malone, John Clayton, and Dianne Reeves. The two-week elite jazz retreat was documented by the BET Jazz Channel.
Rosana currently resides in Dallas, TX and teaches vocal jazz at the University of North Texas, both privately and in the classroom. She works on the faculty of the North Texas Vocal Jazz Summer Workshop and the Texas All Star Jazz Camp, and she is in demand as an ensemble clinician and festival adjudicator. Her arrangements and original songs have been performed by vocal groups worldwide, and her music has been published by Hal Leonard Music and UNC Press. Her quintet performs regularly at clubs, concert venues, and jazz festivals around the country, and she is now going to be performing at Jazz Club U stare pani.

Clam-Gallas Palace
Prague, Czech Republic
The enormous Clam-Gallas Palace in Husova (Jan Hus) Street in the Old Town straddles the crossroads of a vital medieval communication, also known as the Kings Road, which connected the Castle with the center of the Old Town, and an ancient highway leading to Vysehrad.
The location's significance is corroborated by the presence of a Romanesque homestead whose remnants, an ashlar masonry wall, have been preserved in the cellar of the current palace. The homestead included a church, later rebuilt in Gothic style, of the Holy Virgin at the Pond, whose spire, until 1791, used to be the dominant feature of the north end of today's Husova Street where the current Marianske (Saint Mary) Square now lies.

Orig.Music Theatre Prague Tickets
Villa America - Dvorak museum
Prague, Czech Republic
Since its establishment in 1991, the Theatre may pride on its originality expressing in several ways: it performs its own chamber music performances in the historical salons and the whole concept of the plays inspired by the life stories of famous musicians in Prague is very unusual and untraditional. Thanks to the great artists, the soloists of the National Theatre, the State Opera Prague, and the leading concert artists, musicians and dancers wearing exquisite historical costumes, with whom the spectator is in a direct contact, the old-fashioned atmosphere of Prague salons has revived again. The perfect illusion of 18th and 19th centuries is furthermore enhanced by the selection of the most beautiful compositions often complemented by new discoveries from ancient archives. You will not miss a welcoming toast either.
The performance intelligibility for all nations has not been documented just by thousands of satisfied spectators amongst the visitors of Prague, but also by great and enthusiastic audience in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France and the greatest cities of Scandinavia, where the company performed as guests in both small and great halls.
A brief sight at the history of the main Original Music Theatre's Prague projects will also bring an evidence of its success: A Night with Mozart - premiere in 1991 within the scope of the "Year of Mozart", Wonderful Dvořák - premiere in 1991 under the auspices of UNESCO, If Strauss, than Johann - premiere in 1992, Kounic Palace, The King of Operetta at Žofín - Žofín 1994, Operetta Gala of Prague - Kaiserštejn Palace 1995, A night with Mozart II - Bertramka 1997. As far as the programs of a little different character are concerned, let us remind at least the premiere of a symphonic composition "Thalia" by Otmar Mácha in the Spanish Hall of the Prague Castle, and so on.
Shortly, we kindly invite all who lust for an unusual experience in Golden Prague. The Original Music Theatre Prague may guarantee high artistic quality and great entertainment.

Turandot Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Turandot is the last opera by G. Puccini, who died shortly before finishing it. He found the theme in Schiller’s dramatisation of Carlo Gozzi’s Persian fairy-tale (originally a tale from the collection of dervish Mokles’ Thousand and One Nights) about a Chinese princess. The opera contains absorbing, highly dramatic scenes between the cruel princess Turandot and prince Kalaf. Puccini’s effort to achieve the truest possible Chinese vocal colour is strengthened by the use of pentatonics as the basic form of Chinese tonal system, easing the rhythm and often changing time, which is characteristic for the Chinese conception of music.
Turandot, Chinese princess: S. Munteanu, M. Málková
Emperor Altoum, her father: N. Višnjakov, L. Havlák
Timur, banished Tartar king: M. Bürger, L. Mlejnek

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Don Giovanni
in Italian, with Czech and English super titles
Conductor: Jiří Kout (Jan Chalupecký, Zbyněk Müller)
Director: Václav Kašlík, Jiří Nekvasil
The sustained popularity of Don Giovanni has resulted in extensive borrowings and arrangements of the original. The most famous and probably the most musically substantial is the operatic fantasy, Réminiscences de Don Juan by Franz Liszt. The minuet from the Finale of Act I makes an incongruous appearance in the manuscript of Liszt's Fantasie on Two Motives from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", and Sigismond Thalberg uses the same minuet, along with Deh vieni alla finestra, in his Grand Fantaisie sur la serenade et le Minuet de Don Juan, Op. 42. Deh vieni alla finestra also makes an appearance in the Klavierübung of Ferruccio Busoni, under the title "Variations-Studie nach Mozart" (Variation-study after Mozart). Beethoven, Danzi and Chopin each wrote a series of variations on the duet between Don Giovanni and Zerlina, Là ci darem la mano.
The music from Don Giovanni has also featured in a number of movie soundtracks, including It Happened in Brooklyn, Parting Glances, Some Girls, Madagascar Skin, Il Cermonie, and The Bonfire of the Vanities . The aria Il mio tesoro is used as the main theme to the classic Ealing comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets. In addition, Là ci darem la mano is performed in Babette's Feast between one virginal female lead, Philippa, and her suitor, the opera singer Achille Papin, at a moment of romantic indecision that mirrors the circumstances of the opera.

In despair, Des Grieux challenges the Governor's nephew to a duel and knocks him unconscious. Thinking he had killed the man and fearing retribution, the couple flee New Orleans and venture into the wilderness of Louisiana, hoping to reach a neighboring English settlement. Manon dies of exposure and exhaustion the following morning, and Des Grieux returns to France to become a cleric after burying his beloved.

Muzikál Hamlet (Hamlet - The Musical) Tickets
Divadlo Kalich (Kalich Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
By Janel Ledecký
Directed by: Robert Johanson
Czech audiences and foreign tourists visiting Prague now have the unique opportunity to experience Hamlet - the Musical by Janek Ledecký in the same form in which it will be seen by American audiences. The uniqueness of this project is also proven by the fact that only 14 exclusive performances of this version will be held. The shows will be presented in English and for Czech viewers, the stage will be equipped with a special subtitling device.
About Hamlet - the Musical:
Hamlet - the Musical, by Czech hit-maker Janek Ledecký, has become a tremendous success with Prague audiences. It premiered on November 1, 1999, and the occasion coincided with the opening of the Kalich Theater, which later became one of Prague's best-known musical and dramatic venues. For an unbelievable three years, the musical entertained audiences of all generations. A total of 600 sell-out performances were held on the stage of the Kalich Theater. The musical witnessed equal success in Slovakia where it was performed on the new stage of the National Theater in Bratislava.
Hamlet - the Musical owes its success primarily to Ledecký's impressive, intelligent melodies accompanying the story of love and betrayal in the Danish kingdom. An equal degree of credit belongs to the lyrics, which sparkle with a humor and wit that are worthy of their Shakespearian heritage. A first-rate production team stood behind the musical in Prague: The impressive stage was designed by Šimon Caban, the fabulous costumes were the work of Josef Jelínek, the choreography was designed by Zuzana Krištofová, the staging was the work of Jan Kaèer and the piece was directed by the well-known Zdenìk Troška.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Hamlet - the Musical attracted the interest of producers on Broadway, the world's musical mecca. After several successful preview performances, the preparations for the American premiere of Hamlet - the Musical are currently underway. Once again, the musical will be in the hands of a superb creative and interpretive team. Director Robert Johanson needs no introduction. As one of the prominent figures in the industry, Johanson is not only a director but also a sought-after actor for musicals.
Ledecký teamed up with Johanson and co-producer Vince Parillo to produce the American version of Hamlet - the Musical. In comparison with the Czech version of the musical, new songs were added for the new production, some of the roles were given an additional dramatic boost and, most importantly, the staging of the individual scenes was modified. The new version of Hamlet - the Musical, therefore, promises an interesting theater experience not only for those visiting the Kalich Theater for the first time, but also for those who have already had the chance to see Hamlet - the Musical.

The performance consists of two different one-act ballets. In the first part of the evening, the creative duo of Johan Greben from Holland and Uri Ivgi from Israel will present a new original choreography created for the National Theatre Ballet Company. This duo has already created a number of very high quality and distinctive works for various ensembles all over the world. Their creative endeavours have their roots in the stormy and dynamic development of the contemporary dance theatre of the last ten years. The second part of the evening will include a performance of the ballet Carmen from the workshop of the choreographer and director Mats Ek – one of the most significant representatives of current dance theatre. This author of Swedish extraction has to date created approximately forty full-length and shorter narrative and abstract ballets. He has distanced himself from the classic Mérimée–Bizet version and developed this emotional drama played out between a man and a woman in a new manner. His Carmen is endowed with the properties of both a dishonourable fraudster and a strong, independent woman who follows her innermost feelings.

Falstaff Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
Falstaff is Verdi’s last, and also his only comic, opera and has become a permanent star in the opera firmament. The origin of this final opus (1892) by the Italian musical genius was supported by Verdi’s librettist and friend Arrigo Boito. Given his advanced years, Verdi did not wish to embark upon the composition of such an extensive work as an opera, but for all that the work has become one of the pillars of world operatic literature. Boito wrote the libretto according to William Shakespeare’s comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor. The vainglorious knight Falstaff seduces married women who repay his unsound judgement and obtrusiveness with happy jokes. Falstaff has a narrow escape from a planned assignation when the lady of the house hides him in a basket of dirty laundry but then has the basket taken away and emptied on the river bank. Falstaff, however, still longs for another tryst and does not hesitate to set off into the forest at midnight. There, the company terrifies him with a round dance of elves and ghosts, from which Falstaff escapes “merely” ridiculed. The plot and the music include both comic elements and lyrical passages for the young lovers. In Falstaff, Verdi created one of the most fundamental baritone roles in the entire international operatic literature. The superlative Czech singer Ivan Kusnjer will appear in the title role in this production.

Hans Christian Andersen is one of the best-known and most popular authors of fairy tales. His fairy tales of the Princess and the Pea, the Ugly Duckling, the Tinderbox, the Little Mermaid and the Snow Queen have found a place in the hearts of children and adults alike. They have also been frequently reworked in the theatre and in film. The Snow Queen is a jewel of this genre not only owing to Andersen’s masterly narration, but also because of the message encoded within it. Kaj is struck in the eye by a shard from the Snow Queen’s mirror and his view of the world is transformed. The Snow Queen takes him away to her kingdom, but his loyal friend Gerda is determined to seek him out. She must overcome many an obstacle on her way to Kaj, but her good heart and the desire to see her faithful friend Kaj give her great strength. In the end, she frees Kaj from the power of the Snow Queen. Hans Christian Andersen, a famous author who suffered and struggled on the road to success and recognition, still wins the hearts of big and small readers the world over.

La Sylphide/Napoli Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
The legend of Danish ballet, August Bournonville, is one of the most distinctive personalities in the entire history of ballet. He is the author of many unique productions in which he mirrors one of the purest forms of romantic ballet. Thanks to this creative heritage, which has been preserved in its authentic form, we are able to leaf through a textbook on the development of ballet technique. Like Marius Petipa or George Balanchine later, Bournonville became an innovator in his time and created a highly specific classical ballet style. This production consists of a combination of the ballet La Sylphide and the third act of the ballet Napoli. Both works represent the best of Bournonville’s repertoire of original works and it is precisely in this form that they are most frequently performed.

Get the most out of life and live it up, regardless of others. Have no entanglements with anybody or anything. Only acknowledge those limitations which you have set yourself – and maybe not even those! Remarkably, it is not only our age which has a monopoly on such an approach to life. It is practised by a type described by Tirso de Molina in Spain as early as 1630 and in 1665 by another great dramatist, Moliere, in France. Since that time, Don Juan has become the subject matter of countless reworkings since the discord at the centre of the work is eternal: the discord between provocation and the temptation of order which is hidden and only recognisable through belief. Juan, however, has no such belief and the belief of his servant is too tepid to be able to convince him. Moliere played the part of Sganarello in this comedy. It was in this role that he could best express the excruciating doubts of the servant who is well aware that the actions of his master are wrong, but at the same time is too weak to be able to defy such an arrogant and mesmerising attitude. His last words (“Where is my pay?”) clearly depict the shallowness of his morality. This black comedy written in prose is a permanent fixture of the theatrical repertoire. Whereas recent productions have interpreted Juan as an unconventional intellectual who does not want to reconcile himself with the falseness and emptiness of social forms and conventions, today the play requires a new interpretation which paradoxically may be closer to that of Moliere himself when he wrote of the hedonistic court of Louis XIV.*

The book has become popular in the Czech subconscious and copies of it are handed down from generation to generation. It depicts a dream of childhood which the most significant Czech author of all time dreamt up at a time when she was going through one of the worst moments of her life. The character of the grandmother has become an archetype with whom is linked an idyllic idea of rural life where a person is in harmony with himself, with his close friends and family and with nature and its cycles.

A Little Might Music, or In Tune With Power
The play has been inspired by the year of the Mozart anniversary and the original version was written in German (Eine kleine Machtmusik). The author paraphrases the topic of the artist and society. The story of the conductor Mazort is set in the last decade of the twentieth century. The personal career of a not overly convincing artist is formed and deformed in the world of polarised ideology, while his personal life has become entangled in a secret web of powerful interests. Pavel Kohout tells the story by means of anti-illusory theatre. At the virtual Spider Hotel, which can be considered to be an objectified projection of the conscience, Mazort reconstructs his career as an artist and a husband. The author has effectively woven the dramatic line of a love relationship and spy games and gradually unveils the spider’s web, in which Mazort’s life has been caught.

Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)

This story of the passionate and beautiful Carmen, a reckless seducer whose inconstant life ends at the hands of her rejected lover, was written by the novelist Prosper Mérimée three whole decades before the premiere of Bizet's opera. Carmen is an opera full of sensuous and wild Spanish melodies, which stage director Jozef Bednárik has managed to shape into a magnificent theatrical spectacle. Excelling in the title role are such singers as Marina Domashenko-Yakovleva and Jana Sýkorová.

The story of a fallen girl and her unrequited true love has moved audiences for more than 150 years. Just as moving is Verdi’s music, which gives preference to lyricism and depth of experience over theatrical ostentatiousness. Perhaps it is for this very reason that the melodies of La Traviata speak successfully to every generation.

Sluha dvou pánů (The Servant of Two Masters) Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
The Servant of Two Masters is a ripe fruit of commedia dell'arte – it includes the traditional characters and situations. It is set in a close family framework where the main event of a betrothal is complicated by the servant Truffaldino, who is both cunning and simple-minded at the same time. He plays out a comedy of errors and misunderstandings driven by his eternal hunger through unexpected peripeteia and on to a happy ending. He is surrounded by traditional figures – the masks of commedia dell'arte – the careworn fogy Pantalone, the precocious doctor and their beloved children, the adventurous pair of lovers, the innkeeper Brighella and the servant Smeraldina. In our production, Truffaldino is played by Miroslav Donutil, who has developed the tradition of improvisation from commedia dell'arte to the great enjoyment of many theatregoers. The production has been in the repertoire for over a decade. In 2006, it celebrated its 350th performance and still plays to full houses at the National Theatre. (The only production in the history of the National Theatre which has had more performances – 403 – is Örkény’s Cat’s Play with Dana Medřická in the lead role.)

Antiquarius Quartet Praga Tickets
Zrcadlové kapli, Klementinum (Mirror Chapel, Clementinum)
Prague, Czech Republic
is a Czech ensemble, which is engaged in the interpretation of classical and romantic music on period instruments. It is oriented mostly towards compositions from the time when the instrumental form of the string quartet came into existence. Players try, when performing the music, to use authentic means: instruments that were in practice in early times demonstrably, unwound gut strings and copies of old bows.
The musicians observe the intentions of a composer carefully by the study of period autographs and authentic editions. But they are also able to enrich them creatively, because they are educated in the art of ornamentation, variation and transcription.
Antiquarius quartet Praga have performed hundreds of concerts in the Czech Republic and abroad. Its members recorded a number of CD‘s; in particular for the Czech firm Arta Records and the Japanese company Exton.
Members:
Vaclav Navrat - classical violin
Simona Tydlitatova - classical violin
Ivo Anyz - classical viola
Petr Hejny - classical violoncello

Casanova Tickets
Laterna Magika
Prague, Czech Republic
Our performance will show you one of many possible ways of interpreting the life of Giacomo Casanova who has become a symbol of a relentless and passionate seducer of women.
Historical facts give evidence that this famous globetrotter was an extremely educated and cultured man for his time but that he died a mise rable and forgotten man in the Duchcov Castle in Bohemia. His preserved memoirs are the starting point of our story. The distance between the story’s beginning and end is limited by the length of the performance, yet you will be able to get a glimpse of that period of Casanova’s life which created his myth and formed the legend. This is the magic of theatre. The boy - who in front of your eyes will change into a young man by his Fairy Godmother’s kiss - meets young Angelika at the Venice carnival and falls in genuine love with her. His desire demands everything from her without delay and startled girl runs away from him. He then spends the rest of his life pursuing, finding and losing her again. Lucia is the first to give in to his charm, Nanetta and Marticka prepare him for his "march on Rome" and even Bettina, the generally admired and courted dancer, does not resist him. Casanova becomes successful, rich and equally admired and hated but gradually boredom creeps into his heart and mind. When arrested he contemplates whether to die or to escape. Does he gain insight from his dilemmas?
The moment he is free, the same story repeats itself. His flirt with Cora lina results in a duel and murder, forcing him to be on the run again. As if chased by the instinct for self-preservation, he turns to Angelika who has been longing for him behind the walls of a nunnery. Casanova is deter mined to change his way of his life but is unable to do so. Leaving Ange lika for another illusion, he ends up in a cabaret pursuing a new flirt. At this point he faces a shocking revelation: all his loves and passions were nothing but a cover for a morbid love of himself. Casanova grows old. His wordly path comes close to its end, nothing but memories and solitude remain. He was unable to give, only to take in handfuls.
But how many men of his kind have passed through this world? And how many Angelikas? A similar story begins every day.

The concept enables the original film images to fill up the stage, without even using a projection screen, and thus in a way multiply the spaces of the stage

Così fan tutte Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Mozart’s last comical opera to an Italian text was made on commission for Emperor Joseph II. Mozart was not particularly excited about writing the opera, but being in a bad financial situation he accepted the commission. The topic, made into a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, is a typical comedy with substitution of characters in disguise, a rather frivolous joke, which is supposed to be a proof of female cunning. But Mozart’s masterful music evokes a melancholy, mating love with its mockery. He brought the motif up to an emotional level, to a collision of real and pretended feelings, semblance and reality, also in the form of typical opera buffo. The work is another token of his genius musical invention.

BOHEMIA SAXOPHONE QUARTET
The saxophone quartet is an ensemble which has already taken its place along side other traditional chamber groups.
Nearly all musical styles are open to it, thanks to the wide range of expressive possibilities at its disposal.
Bohemia Saxophone Quartet explores this broad palette in their performance of original compositions for four saxophones, pieces originally intended for other instrumentations, and music from the jazz repertoire.
The rich variety of the pieces in their repertoire enables Bohemia Saxophone Quartet to perform not only in concert halls, but also in "alternative" and jazz venues as well. The unaffected musicality of their performances and their openness to diverse styles has attracted the attention of several composers, who have written more than forty pieces for the ensemble. Since Bohemia Saxophone Quartet's beginning in 1990 the ensemble has taken part in many important international music festivals, and in 1998 the group was a finalist in the competition IX. Concours International de Musique de Chambre de Paris. They have played concert tours throughout the countries of Europe, as well as in the USA, Israel, Jordan, Tunisia, Lebanon and Indonesia.

Jenufa Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
Today Její pastorkyòa (Her Stepdaughter, known in English-speaking countries by the stepdaughter’s name, Jenùfa) is an opera that theatres all over the world include in their repertoires on a regular basis. Janáèek‘s music and the captivating story appeal to more and more theatre-goers. The dramatic tale, which still draws attention and provides food for thought, presents human relations shaped by the harsh environment of a closed community, where each person lives constantly under the watch of others. The social hierarchy determines one’s position, which binds one, and the only liberation from the ambience of intolerance is radical departure. This environment affects the life of Jenùfa and above all influences the conduct of her stepmother, the Kostelnièka (sacristan), who strives to maintain her position and the respect of the whole village at any cost.
Our new staging of this beautiful and unique opera is the work of stage director Jiøí Nekvasil and set designer Daniel Dvoøák and has already been highly acclaimed in opera houses in Dublin and Riga, which are presenting it as a co-production with the National Theatre. An exceptional musical experience will be assured by conductor Jiøí Kout, who is taking charge of musical rehearsals.

Aida Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
This celebrated opera is returning to the stage of the National Theatre after an absence of more than fifty years. Verdi wrote Aida for celebrations of the opening of the Suez Canal, and the result is a splendid, festive opera with demanding but beautiful solo and choral parts. The Egyptian army commander Radames hopes that his successful military campaign will allow him to marry the young Aida. She is a slave in Egypt, but what nobody knows is that she is the daughter of the Ethiopian king Amonasro. And it is against him that Radames will wage a war. However, Radames is also loved by the Egyptian princess Amneris, who is promised to him by her father as a reward for victory. Aida realises that Amneris will never give up Radames and wants to flee with him. At her father’s request she leads Radames to reveal which route the next attack on the Ethiopians will take. Radames realises his treason and allows himself to be arrested, but allows Aida and her father to escape. For this deed Radames is to be entombed alive, but in the dark chamber he encounters Aida, who wants to bear his fate with him. The opera is rich in beautiful melodies with exotic motives and in effective scenes and arias.

The National Theatre Ballet has continued in its tradition of presenting the ballets of the famous choreographer John Cranko. In the 2002/2003 season, the ballet performed The Taming of the Shrew. The ballet Onegin, based on Pushkin’s famous verse novel follows the story of a bored Russian aristocrat who rejects the love of a young girl, Tatiana, and prefers to flirt with her sister, Olga. Several years later, Onegin becomes aware of the fact that he has made a mistake – but it is already too late. The famous Cranko ballet provides expressive acting performances, brilliant dance technique and a very deep sense of the wide range of emotional expression in the individual characters. As well as the beautiful yearning pas de deux scenes with Onegin and Tatiana, the production also contains effective dance scenes with the entire company. When creating the music for this ballet, John Cranko and Kurt-Heinz Stolze worked predominantly with Tchaikovsky’s piano works and his Francesca da Rimini symphonic fantasia.

Even in Mozart's own time, just as Wolfgang Amadeus himself was charming the Prague public with the full productions of his operas, there existed various arrangements of his arias and vocal parts adapted for chamber ensembles. There are many records of such perfromances in the Estates Theatre musical archives. Unfortunately, this tradition was later passed over and forgotten and music lovers have been missing out on the unique harmony of the human voice accompanied by a trio of wind instruments.
Mozartissimo is not just an ordinary classical music performance. Using Mozart's famous sense of humor, it brings to stage a selection from operas Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Entführung aus dem Serail and Die Zauberflöte in colourful arrangements for vocals, oboe, clarinet and bassoon. Under the guidance of composer Jaroslav Krèek, the wind trio has been able to substitute the sound of a whole orchestra.
Mozartissimo transports the audience back to Mozart's own time with it's faithful period production, with all performers in period costume. Since opening in September 1997 Mozartissimo has had more than two hundred successful seasons, not only in Mozart's traditional environments of Prague and Salzburg but also worldwide. Mozartissimo has received an excited and warm reception in France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Brazil as well.

Tennessee Williams' classic drama, performed in Czech.
A bitter play with a drop of sentiment whose heroes are not able to come to terms with the incomprehensible cruelty of time. Tennessee Williams presents a picture of corruption, violence and emotional staleness in which the desire for power and property controls and maims human lives. The southern magnate Boss Finley propels his daughter Heavenly into relationships which support his political interests. When he discovers that she is having an affair with the young Chance Wayne, he drives him from the city. The play opens at the moment when this lover returns after a number of years as a tired gigolo with a former film actress who is running away from herself and her ageing. Wayne feels that he no longer has anything to lose and he suicidally endeavours to re-establish a relationship with the love of his life. Even though Chance Wayne is no scapegoat, his personal tragedy becomes an indictment of provincial bigotry which cripples people both mentally and, gradually, physically.

Die Fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
After his first three operas (Die Feen/The Fairies, Das Liebesverbot/The Ban on Love and Rienzi), in which Wagner came to terms with the influences of the main compositional movements of his time (German opera of Carl Maria von Weber, Italian opera similar to that of Donizetti and French grand opera of Giacomo Meyerbeer), he composed his first important opera – The Flying Dutchman. He wrote his own libretto after the legend by Heinrich Heine, setting the story in Norway in about 1650. The opera’s chief hero is a Dutchman condemned to roam the seas; the only thing that can save him is a maiden’s faithful love. He finds that love in Senta, daughter of the sailor Daland. She is attracted to the Dutchman even though she is engaged to the huntsman Erik. When the Dutchman wants to return to the sea, she desperately cries out: “faithful to the grave,” throwing herself from the cliff into the sea. The condition for the Dutchman’s redemption is thereby satisfied, his ship sinks and the souls of both lovers rise to the heavens.
The world premiere of the opera was on January 2, 1843 at the Royal Court Theatre of Saxony in Dresden under the composer’s direction. The first Prague performance was at the Estates Theatre on September 7, 1856 under the baton of František Škroup. The opera was not played at Bayreuth until 1901 with Ema Destinnová (Emmy Destinn) in the role of Senta and with the conductor Felix Mottl, who performed the opera as a “ballad without intermission” in accordance with Wagner’s wishes.

The opera was not played at Bayreuth until 1901 with Ema Destinnová (Emmy Destinn) in the role of Senta and with the conductor Felix Mottl, who performed the opera as a “ballad without intermission” in accordance with Wagner’s wishes.

Dancing horror love story
From dark corners of the Paris Opera a voice resounds that calls the name of the very young ballet dancer Christina Daaé and encourages this extraordinary talent. Hardly anybody knows that the mysterious voice is the voice of the Phantom, a disfigured genius roaming around the labyrinth of catacombs... The ballet ensemble comes with another delicacy, a romantic story on the theme of the novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux. The head of our production team is Libor Vaculík who set this exciting theme also known from a musical comedy version by Andrew Lloyd Weber into a specific ballet environment. The dance/acting roles of Raoul, Christine, the Phantom and a number of other heroes will challenge again the soloists and the entire ensemble. This attractive material set into music by Petr Malásek and choreographed by Libor Vaculík has everything necessary to reach both Czech and foreign audiences and to take its place alongside successful works from past years like The Lady of the Camellias and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

It seems to be an ironic and a theatre view on the film shooting as well as a view on people in front of and behind the camera. To fulfill a screenplay and imaginations of the director is not always easy, especially if "fear and horror" shall be squeezed in the cinematographic format. You will have a chance to see how a crazy film crew is trying to get through difficulties with shooting and how a film horror can integrate into their life. Original music, scenic dance and magic of the black light theatre frame a funny story about the film shooting of "horror".

Otec / Doma (Father / At Home) Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
This original play, which has yet to be performed on a professional stage, develops the story of the “prodigal son” returning to his home for the funeral of his mother. The plot is set at a time of destructive floods. Františák’s play concerns similar themes to that of Jirásek’s drama Father. Both plays grow from the dramatic nature of the relationship to the family inheritance, to the “estate”. The estate not only means physical property, but also a person’s essence, foundations and roots. Jirásek’s play reflects the past which continues in us. Františák’s play depicts an authentic present, asks of the past and seeks the roots of home.
Revenge for a perceived wrong, invisible wounds, envy and covetousness interlace this realistic tragedy with a Czech rural setting. As in the case of his first drama Vojnarka, Jirásek drew his material from the Litomyšl area. The story is simple. The peasant Divíšek has devoted his life to a single thought – to return to the farm which his ancestors lost. When the opportunity arises to buy up the promissory notes of his richer but profligate neighbour, Divíšek does not hesitate a moment before destroying him. However, the demon of jealousy then turns against the one who summoned it: the father infects his son with hatred and jealousy and the son subsequently dies. Jirásek’s coarse and strict play is everything but a revivalist idyll. It is modern in its truthfulness and its merciless depiction of the dark aspects of the Czech nature.

Rock 'n' Roll Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
The international dramatist, Tom Stoppard, has written a play about Czechoslovakia! Stoppard’s last play is set alternately in Cambridge and in Prague within a timeframe from 1968 to 1990. Stoppard investigates the worlds of salon Marxism in Cambridge in confrontation with the post-August normalisation reality in Czechoslovakia. The frequent merging of the settings – England and Czechoslovakia – creates an interesting perspective not only for our domestic problems of the period, but also for the development of the communist ideal in the West. The author, who was born in Zlín, has projected himself into the fate of the Czech intellectual Miloš. As the name suggests, rock music plays a fundamental role in Stoppard’s play. It is not merely an illustration of the period, but also a kind of direct medium of life: a bearer of energy, a subject of debate, a common experience, the possibility of self-determination and an area of freedom. It is remarkable how Stoppard, who did not live through the normalisation, manages to authentically evoke its reality. Rock ’n’ Roll displays the typical features of Stoppard’s poetic: a depth of ideas, impartiality and especially intelligence and wit.

Black Box Tickets

Prague, Czech Republic
You encounter a number of new elements in the Black box performance. You will be surprised by possibilities of black effects, luminescent lights and their visual effects. Modern dance is supported by perfect black light technique, causing dancers and objects to levitate, rotate and move in defiance of the rules of gravity. Constituent elements are inspired by the contemporary world, time, even dreams, and the transformed fantasy of moving objects. The subconscious mind of each visitor can find its own association and interpretation.
A combination of interesting props, original music and projection once again provides our multinational audience with a very unusual experience. Non-verbal sketches, reflecting detective, crime and action stories, are interspersed with scenes in "the black". They tell us a story of unrevealed and unknown crime, culprits and their hunters.
The hero, acting as a brave and indestructible executor of the Law, chases fleeing gangsters with the determination of a hunting dog. Find out yourself whether or not the black box mystery will be revealed.

Don Giovanni Tickets
National Marionette Theatre
Prague, Czech Republic
Mozart's famous "Opera of Operas", Don Giovanni is wonderfully transformed into classic marionette theatre. Puppet shows are somewhat of a tradition in Prague and Don Giovanni is consistently rated as the most popular production.
Mozart composed the original Don Giovanni opera especially for Prague, where he personally conducted the first performance at the famous Estates Theatre in 1787. This marionette theatre version tells the classic tale with tall puppets dressed in authentic 18th century period costume. The whole production pays homage to the Mozart era and is a joy to experience.
Act I begins: Seville in the 1600s.
At night, outside the Commendatore's palace, Leporello grumbles about his duties as servant to Don Giovanni, a dissolute nobleman. Soon the masked Don appears, pursued by Donna Anna, the Commendatore's daughter, whom he has tried to seduce. When the Commendatore himself answers Anna's cries, he is killed in a duel by Giovanni, who escapes. Anna now returns with her fiancé, Don Ottavio. Finding her father dead, she makes Ottavio swear vengeance on the assassin..…

Rendez-vous Tickets
Laterna Magika
Prague, Czech Republic
The ensamble ranks amongst the best world ballet companies thanks to its specific features in the repertory and its performances are keenly received not only by the audiences but also by the critics, who commented upon the first two titles: „...Laterna magika fills in the blank spots on the map of our ballet life“.
Later, the company was awarded the best collective interpretive performance for Puzzles, duets and soloists for Graffiti also received various other awards on both theatre and ballet level.
The opening of the new title called Rendez-vous has two scenic versions: first one opened on 2 August 2005 in Cathedrale d´Image in southern France, the second originated as a regular performance for the Prague scene. Both versions, however, were created in a co-production with French La Compagnie Commun Instant and a German agency Noa Entertainment becoming a project financed by the European Union through a grant programme for the development of European cultural co-operation Culture 2000.
The whole performance was much influenced by the environment of a disused stone quarry (Cathedrale d´Image), which intrigued Josef Svoboda and Albert Plecy as an ideal place for concerts, exhibitions and performances. This time, it was Jean-Pierre Aviotte who was inspired by this ‘magical’ space with unique atmosphere as if created for multimedia projects, to produce a performance based on the principles of Laterna magika, using some other unconventional scenic instruments to narrate a mysterious encounter in the bullring. It is a scenic ‘flash-back’ of moments of a human life compiled into a mosaic of film, music, choreographic and acrobatic fairy tale.
Direction: Jean-Pierre Aviotte

Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Who would not know the most famous barber of all time: Figaro, who masterfully commands both his razor and his gorgeous shrewdness that helps Count Almavivo win over his beloved Rosina? Love, tricks and intrigues are the ingredients of Rossini’s masterful comic opera. The sparkling charms of his score, spectacular virtuoso parts performed by the main characters: – playful Rosina with her bravura coloraturas and temperamental Figaro – as well as the penetrative tempo that the story ticks away with, have ensured the Barber of Seville a permanent place on the global repertoire. Today, hardly anybody would believe that its first night in Rome on February 20, 1816 turned into one of the biggest scandals in the history of opera! The opera exuberates with irresistible comic scenes; still, there also is a more serious note: – for example in the aria about slander by Don Basilio, the music teacher, that has not lost its bitter validity to this very day. However, the author of the story, the famous French dramatist Pierre Beaumarchais, wrote that he had in the first place intended “to indulge in his merry temperament and to give back to theatre its original joyful mood”. Rossini’s score immediately supported this intention, and also the new staging by the Prague State Opera has had this goal in mind.

Rigoletto Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Verdi was highly captivated by the possibility of bringing a hunchback on stage, a cripple with derision on his lips, tears in his eyes and anxiety in his soul. A person, who knows well enough his doings are wrong, apprehending all the more the curse fallen on his head. Rigoletto is a tragedy of social injustice and inequality, which is evident both in the title character of the jester as well as in the explicit portrayal of the wanton lifestyle of the nobility. The masterful opera works of G. Verdi, most characteristic by their drama and melody, still remain part of the core repertory of all of the world’s opera stages.

Faust - Man between God and the Devil Tickets
Black Light Theatre
Prague, Czech Republic
The legendary story of a man who desires knowledge, power and immortality all for a price for which he paid. The musical theater project reworks the legend of Faust and gets inspiration not merely from the Goethe classic text but also from the poetical traditions of Czech puppet productions. The production utilizes the confirmed methods of black light theater and enriches it with state of the art equipment, musical and dance resources. The untraditional arrangement of the classic theme opened new possibilities for the influential combination of the effects of black light theater with dynamic choreography and projection. A significant aspect of the production is the original scenic music and original songs with both Czech and English texts.

Cyrano de Bergerac Tickets
Národní Divadlo (National Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
Rostand’s classic drama is a manifesto of manliness, honour, friendship and love and the values which are necessary always and for everybody. This also applies to the tradition which has seen Cyrano as a part of Czech theatrical life for more than a century. Cyrano is in some ways an eyewitness and a guide through the Czech theatre of the twentieth century. For this reason too, it will be performed on stage at the National Theatre in the translation by Jaroslav Vrchlický

Our Uppish and Defiant Fellows
In 1887 the National Theatre's first dramaturge wrote this, the first Czech realist play. To critics of the time it seemed too different, too unusual. They failed to understand it and rejected it. But time has proved its qualities: it has become one of the cornerstones of the golden fund of Czech drama. The author depicts the everyday life of an idyllic-looking village in southern Bohemia. Under the surface of neighbourly camaraderie, dramas are bubbling - there is rivalry for the prestigious designation of 'first farmer', along with discussions of who will be the night-watchman. An unknown man threatens arson. After more than a century this play is more than ever ours - and about us.

The Wonderful Circus Tickets
Laterna Magika
Prague, Czech Republic
Welcome to our miraculous circus where you can join two clowns following the mysterious beauty of Venus, experiencing numerous adventures. Enjoy a performance full of perfectly attuned scenic dance, pantomime and black theatre.
The theatre has the unique privilege of presenting the whole of a lifetime in a single night. The comedy we offer you is as old as mankind itself - good and evil, love and hate, strength and weakness, happiness and sadness and at last wisdom and the understanding of what is really important in life.
Two clowns are hatched out of two eggs washed ashore by the waves. Before they know where they are, they are confronted by the Tempter, the symbol of the snares and deceptions of life, and by Venus, the vision of mysterious beauty, which leads them to set out on a pilgrimage. The pilgrimage proves as hard and as beautiful as life itself - the clowns grow old while what they yearn for remains eternally young.
In our circus tent you will see a fairy-tale. In fairy-tales everything is true-to-life except that it is more translucent, clearer. That is why we so badly need the wisdom of fairy-tales in which all ends well.
Direction: Evald Schorm, Jan Švankmajer, Jiří Srnec

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Is The Magic Flute a remarkable fairy-tale with comic elements, a folk comedy or an encoded work, full of freemason symbols? Is it merely a story of love overcoming all obstacles, or a piece motivating the viewer to attempt achieving perfection? – The work contains all these planes and because of this it remains a challenge for all producers.
Mozart’s last opera, a fairy-tale singspiel from 1791 to the libretto of E. Schikaneder is a true masterpiece. The magical fairy-tale story is a multi-layered play full of fantasy, humour, but also philosophy. The characters of prince Tamino, princess Pamina, the wise Sarastro, the evil Queen of the night and especially the jolly bird-fancier Papageno address and entertain their viewers worldwide for over 200 years.

Stavovské divaldo (Estates Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
The performance is a reworking of the legendary production which had its stage premiere at today’s Estates Theatre on 7th February 1969 and was the work of two excellent Czech operatic artists: the director Václav Kašlík and the set designer Josef Svoboda. The production remained in the repertoire with a short pause until 1983, i.e. until the Estates Theatre underwent reconstruction. The set design, which works with the elements of the Estates Theatre’s auditorium and allows the proscenium boxes to continue towards the stage as the main component of the decoration, makes phenomenal use of the fact that we are at the venue of the world premiere of this “opera of operas”, in the very theatre where it was first performed on 29th October 1787 under the baton of its composer.

A Midsummer Nights Dream Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
William Shakespeare’s lyrical comedy A Midsummer’s Night Dream was created as an opportunist drama designated to be performed during a wedding party. The ingenious faerie showing the twinkling world of forest fairy-tale beings incorporating a delicate one night’s dream, the magic play of loving couples as well as the charming performance by the craftsmen, inspired Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy to compose its extremely successful overture. Fifteen years later, requested to do so by King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm IV, he composed the full score. “I should like to have my dream come true of staging A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of the most bizarre, most grotesque, and most erotic dramas offered by the non-ballet literature”, says choreographer Libor Vaculík. “To shift an idyllic comedy as far as to the dangerous brink of a grotesque, to combine reality and irrationality, to offer laugh for a while, cruelty for a while, tears for a while. I have a feeling that nothing is certain at the threshold of the new millennium... a tyrant may become a slave, a servant turns out to be a tyrant, love turns into hatred, minor is major, tango is waltz and ballet is rap. Not always, not everywhere, but certainly in the dreams and in the desires of the main characters of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Pygmalion Tickets
Stavovské divaldo (Estates Theatre)
Prague, Czech Republic
George Bernard Shaws famous comedy performed in Czech.
The phonetics specialist Professor Higgins meets the flower girl Liza on the street one rainy day and proceeds to teach her how to speak correctly. This neglected creature is consequently transformed into an enchanting lady and a star of the salons. The author gave his most famous play the subtitle A Romantic Comedy, yet he also gave free rein to his famously acerbic pen and ironic spirit. A man wants to create a woman in his own image but she defies him and becomes a being with opinions of her own. Nobody has ever written as entertainingly about emancipation as Shaw.

The phonetics specialist Professor Higgins meets the flower girl Liza on the street one rainy day and proceeds to teach her how to speak correctly. This neglected creature is consequently transformed into an enchanting lady and a star of the salons. The author gave his most famous play the subtitle A Romantic Comedy, yet he also gave free rein to his famously acerbic pen and ironic spirit. A man wants to create a woman in his own image but she defies him and becomes a being with opinions of her own. Nobody has ever written as entertainingly about emancipation as Shaw.

La Traviata Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Verdi’s La traviata has figured on the repertoire of this opera house ever since its foundation, when the new company co-opted the production of Prague’s German Estates Theatre. It then served chiefly as a vehicle for guest-appearances by illustrious international singers, including among others the legendary Australian soprano, Nellie Melby (April 18, 1900). The first authentic new staging was mounted by the New German Theatre (today’s Prague State Opera) on November 9, 1919, under the baton of Georg Széll, followed by a string of further productions, in 1930, 1934, 1945, 1959, 1979, and most recently, on October 7, 1982, which was directed by Ladislav Štros, with sets designed by Vladimír Nývlt and costumes by Josef Jelínek. That production has since ranked alongside the Prague State Opera’s most successful titles, by the end of the 2005/2006 season reaching a total of 487 performances. The new staging will be taken care of by an international creative team headed by the French director, Arnaud Bernard, whose projects in recent years have included productions of, among others, the operas, Roméo et Juliette at Chicago, with Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu (1999); L’elisir d’amore at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, with Marcelo Alvarez (2001); Lakmé at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo; and Roméo et Juliette in Tokyo (2003); Luisa Miller at the Nationale Reise Opera in the Netherlands; Roméo et Juliette in Beijing; and Le Roi de Lahore in Venice (2004); and most recently, during the current season, La Bohème at the Arena of Verona. The production’s music direction was commissioned to the Italian conductor, Enrico Dovico, a permanent guest conductor of the Prague State Opera.
In La traviata, to the libretto from the novel by Alexandre Dumas the Younger, La Dame aux camélias, telling the story of Marie Duplessis, a noted courtesan and idol of the 1840s’ Parisian society, Verdi in fact created history’s first major opera dealing with a contemporary social theme. This was only one of the work’s several aspects that proved unpalatable for the audience at its premiere in Venice, in 1853: beyond that, they were similarly shocked by the principal part there being assigned to a courtesan, and that moreover she was portrayed as a heroine. Consequently, the premiere ended by a fiasco. Soon thereafter, nonetheless, Verdi’s La traviata scored its first triumphs, and ever since then has remained a hugely loved repertoire staple.

Tosca Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Love, jealousy, hate, death – these are the attributes of many operas and so it is with this, the most famous, opera by Puccini. It is set against the background of political strife in Italy in 1800. Dramatically it is once more an opera, which enthrals by its dramatic suspense and scenes imbued with passionate commotion and despair. Puccini’s music is matched to the drama.
The renewed set design of Josef Svoboda, created by him for the production in the Grand Opera on May 5, 1947, still commands respect both for its grandiosity and its purity of artistic expression.

Rusalka Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Antonín Dvořák composed his last but one opera, Rusalka, while in an extraordinarily pleasant creative mood. He loved the text by the poet, dramatist, librettist and director Jaroslav Kvapil (1868–1950) that appealed to him by its undisguised admiration for the Czech poet Karel Jaromír Erben to whom both Dvořák and Kvapil were very close. He composed a large part of the opera at his beloved summer retreat at Vysoká near Příbram, with a little forest lake situated nearby under old trees next to a green clearing and with a view of the neo-renaissance manor that belonged to his brother-in-law, Count Václav Kounic, where he found an ideal venue for his work on the fairy-tale opera. No wonder that he completed the opera in a mere seven months. Dvořák’s creative genius found its climax in the musical setting of the story of the water nymph Rusalka. The magic of the fairy-tale air inspired him to compose some very specific and colourful impressionist music filled with melodic fantasies and instrumental mastery. His music most suggestively expresses the play of waves as well as the moonlight reflections on the surface of the little lake, thus the irreproducible charms of a fairy-tale dream.
The staging of Rusalka at the Prague State Opera has been taken up by the same team that was behind the extremely successful production of Georges Bizet’s Carmen (its opening took place on March 11, 2004): film director Zdeněk Troška, state director Milan Ferenčík, with the costumes by Josef Jelínek. The conductors are František Drs and Jan Chalupecký; the title role will be performed by Eva Urbanová who so far acted as the Foreign Princess in this opera, including its productions at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and Opera Bastille in Paris.

Nabucco Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Although Nabucco is only Verdi’s third opera, he has managed to create a highly suggestive work on the biblical topic. He was first captivated by the beginning of psalm 136 in the libretto: “Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate” (Fly, thought, upon gilded wings...), which inspired him to a spontaneous composition of a choir, whose fiery melody and rhythm made it into a song of liberation sung all over Italy. He finished the whole opera within a few weeks after that. The passionate music of the piece about the liberation of Jews from Egyptian captivity fully corresponded to the mood of the populace, yearning for liberation from Austro-Hungarian power and the unification of Italy.

Madama Butterfly Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
The opera is based on an American writer’s novel, written according to a true event. The composer found everything he needed in the story of Cio-Cio-San’s unhappy love – a sentimental story, sharp plot contrasts, exotic setting, action and tenderness. The spiritual background of the opera is the meeting of two cultures – in the character of Pinkerton (as the cynical representative of the superior white race) and a young Japanese girl. The music of Madam Butterfly shows great mastery in giving a true picture of the atmosphere and poetry of the orient, even though it is borne by Puccini’s own harmonious devices.

Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)

Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor is based on the motif of the historical novel of the Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Since its premiere in Naples in 1835, the opera has been appearing in repertoire of all the major opera houses. The role of Lucia is one of the most challenging soprano coloraturas in the opera literature. In the middle of the past century, it was the Greek soprano Maria Callas who became the legendary Lucia, in the past twenty years it is for instance Edita Gruber. The Prague State Opera at the moment boasts of several great sopranos including Marina Vyskvorkina, who debuted with great success in the role of Lucia in the Vienna State Opera in 2002.

Carmen Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
The first night of Bizet’s Carmen in Paris in 1875 passed almost unnoticed, without success. Only eight years after Bizet’s death did Carmen triumphantly enter opera houses and ever since has been one of the most frequently staged operas. Librettists Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy were inspired by Prosper Merimé’s extensive novelette on beautiful and reckless Carmen, whose volatile life is ended by the hand of the refused lover, and rendered the story as an impressive tragedy imbued with dazzling Spanish atmosphere. Bizet’s masterpiece still fascinates contemporary audiences by the magnificent color of the orchestra, the sense of engrossing drama and splendid melodic arias.

Verdi endowed the story of the Ethiopian princess Aida, imprisoned as a slave at the court of Egyptian pharaohs and living out her tragic amorous relationship to an Egyptian chieftain, with fervent music. He created a musical drama full of fairy-tale fantasy yet at the same time realistically convincing. Aida became one of the most renowned opera works ever.

Cinderella Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
The ballet by Sergey Prokofiev represents one of the most charming stagings of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale of the modest and graceful girl who, unlike her two step-sisters, did not hunt for her luck and still won the love of a handsome prince in the end. This staging of Prokofiev’s ballet by the outstanding Czech choreographer Pavel Šmok and the Prague State Opera ballet chief Pavel Ďumbala, immediately became one of the most successful performances of the Prague State Opera. The main roles are performed by the outstanding soloists Miss Lucie Holánková (Cinderella), Mr Michal Chovanec and Mr Ondřej Novotný (the Prince) and Mr Milan Boček (The Step-Mother). A review printed in the Financial Times of London said after the first night that it was the best imaginable introduction to ballet for a child spectator.

Swan Lake Tickets
Státní opery Praha (Prague State Opera)
Prague, Czech Republic
Despite the many noteworthy titles in the ballet heritage, only one has made it into the broad public awareness as the synonym for classical dance: It is Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This colourful and moving story about the love of the Prince and the subtle Odette, who was turned into a swan by the evil Redbeard, has achieved immortality thanks to the overwhelming invention of the composer, and also thanks to the surviving choreographed passages of M. Petipa and L. Ivanov. Since the original version, each new generation of ballet soloists and ensembles has encountered this exciting challenge in order to present the ultimate brilliance in dance. Our production deliberately respects the original version of the work and its sublime fairy-tale spirit, while also wishing to meet the expectations of those who admire the finest ballet technique.
