PERFORMANCES AND DATES

NOVEMBER 22, THE MAGIC FLUTE by Mozart
Mozart's last opera is a charming tale about the deep love of princess Pamina and prince Tamino which doesn't lack humour as embodied in the character of the fowler Papageno. The piece is written in the best tradition of popular theatre and blends elements of fairy tale, comedy and also masonic symbolism..

DECEMBER 13, THE BARTERED BRIDE by Smetana
The founding work of modern Czech opera, soon exceeded the domestic framework and became a permanent part of the worlds operatic repertoire. The National Theatre production of the evergreen of Czech theatre and music is, for the first time in our history, directed by a woman. Magdalena Svecova has chosen neither the path of provocative or scandalous interpretation, nor that of conventional imitation of obsolete models. The Bartered Brides grotesque yet highly moving story is grasped with tenderness, intelligent wit and hyperbole, as well as an understanding for the long-gone order (disorder) of human lives in the Czech village. The production forcibility is enhanced by Zuzana Pridalova costumes, inspired by plant and animal motifs, and Ladislava Kosikova stylish choreography charged with energy and replete with naturalness.

JANUARY 10, RUSALKA by Dvorak
A true gem of Czech opera, one that has won over audiences worldwide. The composer’s ardent melodies, both tender and dramatically extreme, his masterful work with musical motifs and full-blooded orchestration, as well as Jaroslav Kvapil’s fairy-tale libretto, evoking Erben’s immensely forcible ballads, make Rusalka a work of fascinating beauty addressing audiences of all ages. Rusalka is customary deemed a “mere” fairy-tale. To be sure, there is no doubt that the fantastic story and the characters of the nymphs, water goblin or the witch are of a fairy-tale nature, yet in its fairy-tale scenes

FEBRUARY 8, TOSCA by Puccini
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.

MARCH 22, CARMEN by Bizet
The opera audiences all over the world have been captivated by the tragic story of Carmen, its psychological insight, colourful Spanish setting and above all Bizet's melodically inventive and poignant music for more than 125 years.br />
